Habitat

Habitat

  • Ecotone
    An ecotone is a transition area between two biomes.
  • Natural landscape
    A natural landscape is the original landscape that exists before it is acted upon by human culture.
  • Biogeography
    Biogeography is the study of the distribution of species and ecosystems in geographic space and through (geological) time.
  • Biotope
    Biotope is an area of uniform environmental conditions providing a living place for a specific assemblage of plants and animals.
  • Landscape ecology
    Landscape ecology is the science of studying and improving relationships between ecological processes in the environment and particular ecosystems.
  • Coevolution
    In biology, coevolution occurs when changes in species' genetic compositions reciprocally affect each other’s evolution.
  • Habitat
    A habitat is an ecological or environmental area that is inhabited by a particular species of animal, plant, or other type of organism.
  • Plant community
    A plant community (sometimes "phytocoenosis" or "phytocenosis") is a collection or association of plant species within a designated geographical unit, which forms a relatively uniform patch, distinguishable from neighboring patches of different vegetation types.
  • Riparian-zone restoration
    Riparian-zone restoration is the ecological restoration of riparian-zone habitats of streams, rivers, springs, lakes, floodplains, and other hydrologic ecologies.
  • Intact forest landscape
    An intact forest landscape (IFL) is an unbroken natural landscape of a forest ecosystem and its habitat—plant community components, in a current extant forest zone.
  • Habitat conservation
    Habitat conservation is a management practice that seeks to conserve, protect and restore habitat areas for wild plants and animals, especially conservation reliant species, and prevent their extinction, fragmentation or reduction in range.
  • Wildlife corridor
    A wildlife corridor, habitat corridor, or green corridor is an area of habitat connecting wildlife populations separated by human activities or structures (such as roads, development, or logging).
  • Noxious weed
    A noxious weed, harmful weed or injurious weed is a weed that has been designated by an agricultural authority as one that is injurious to agricultural or horticultural crops, natural habitats or ecosystems, or humans or livestock.
