Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) are bodies of water and substrate required for fish spawning‚ breeding‚ feeding‚ and a place they can grow to maturity. Bodies of water (freshwater‚ estuaries and saltwater systems) that fishes use as habitat have physical‚ chemical‚ and biological components and also include historical aquatic environments that fish have always used.[1] Important essential fish habitat characteristics include sediment type‚ type of bottoms (sand‚ silly and clay)‚ structures underlying

forest or woodland should have a diversity index of 0.7. An area that is not very diverse‚ like a cornfield‚ might have a diversity index of 0.02 or less.

Non climate threats such as habitat loss‚ habitat fragmentation‚ and invasive species and air and water pollution Fragmentation: often due to man (dams‚ roads‚ and general development) Elements of biodiversity: Species‚ ecosystems & landscapes Mammals from bats to bears Bats got the white nose fungus which caused the bats to die and the insect population flourished because the bats main job

Deforestation causes not only the loss of our precious and stunning forests‚ but also habitat destruction‚ extinction of species‚ and the loss of necessary resources. It’s imperative to prevent the total destruction of our land so that we might be able to salvage what’s left of our environment. If we don’t stop this problem soon there will be no future for our children. Habitat destruction is the awful process in which natural habitat is rendered forests unable to support the species of the present. Humans destroy

Bats are flying mammals in the order Chiroptera (pronounced /kaɪˈrɒptərə/). The forelimbs of bats are webbed and developed as wings‚ making them the only mammals naturally capable of true and sustained flight. By contrast‚ other mammals said to fly‚ such as flying squirrels‚ gliding possums and colugos‚ glide rather than fly‚ and can only glide for short distances. Bats do not flap their entire forelimbs‚ as birds do‚ but instead flap their spread out digits‚[2] which are very long and covered with

seawalls have thus become ubiquitous features of intertidal and shallow subtidal habitats. This transformation will accelerate in response to the exponential growth of human populations and to global changes‚ such as sea-level rise and increased frequency of extreme meteorological events (e.g. storms). Here‚ we provide a critical overview of the major ecological effects of increasing infrastructure to marine habitats‚ we identify future research directions for advancing our understanding of marine

learning about in class talks about how the land has different uses. The farmers who own the land in this article have a tough decision on how to use it. It is currently being used for natural habitat but will bring in more fortune as farmland. This land is the type of land that is most valuable for natural habitat growth. The soil type also would help crop growth which would bring in more money for the farmers. This article is about local farmers that have a tough decision to make now days. With seed

INFLUENCING HABITAT GEOGRAPGHY 1010 GEO 1010 TOPIC: FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE HABITAT What is habitat? What environmental factors limit the distribution of habitat? How do organisms interact with one another? How do habitat communities change with time if left undisturbed? Where do species come from? How do they change and evolve? These are question that will be discussed later. There are several factors that influence habitat: A habitat is a natural
