A habitat is an ecological or environmental area that is inhabited by a particular species of animal‚ plant‚ or other type of organism.[1][2] It is the natural environment in which an organism lives‚ or the physical environment that surrounds a speciespopulation.[3] A habitat is made up of physical factors such as soil‚ moisture‚ range of temperature‚ and availability of light as well as biotic factors such as the availability of food and the presence of predators. A habitat is not necessarily a

Introduction The purpose of this study is to quantitatively describe patterns of plant successional change in old-field succession in temperate mixed forest ecosystems and to describe the relation between abiotic factors and plant communities at different successional stages. Succession is described as predictable patterns of change over time and specifically‚ in ecology‚ as the predictable

The European moose was native to most temperate areas that it could physically inhabit on the continent and even Scotland from the end of the last Ice Age as Europe’s traditional habitat had a natural mix of temperate boreal and deciduous forest. It was certainly thriving in both Gaul and Magna Germania as it appears in military and hunting accounts of the age. However‚ as the Roman era faded

They like to live in temperate‚ cool areas with little annual variation because of the how the bamboo is grown in these areas within their range. According to the Red Panda Network‚ “The southern slopes of the mountains trap the water from seasonal monsoons‚ supporting forests of firs‚ deciduous hardwoods‚ and rhododendrons. A bamboo understory grows in these forests and provides the bulk of the red panda’s diet‚” ("About the Red Panda"). Red

1. Define ecology. Identify the two features of organisms studied by ecologists. Ecology is the scientific study of the interactions between organisms and the environment‚ which in turn determine both the distribution of organisms and their abundance. Ecologists study how interactions between organisms and the environment affect phenomena such as the number of species living in a particular area‚ cycling of nutrients in a habitat‚ and the growth of populations. 2. Describe the relationship between
