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 environment of an organism, a place that is natural for the life and growth of an organism (the physical place that surround a species). There are different ways an organism interact with their physical environment in an ecosystem. As a habitat community a particular habitat is supposed to interact with one another and adapt. Some factors will influence a habitat will begin with ecological niche. Ecological niche describes how an organism responds to the allocation of resources and competitors e.g. by growing when resources are abundant, and when predators, parasites and pathogens are scarce and how it in turn alters those same factors i.e. limiting access to resources by other organisms, acting as a food source for predators and a consumer of prey. But with time I mean evolution each will be detached. Temperature is the hotness and coldness of a given period of time. The temperature of a place can influence the habitat in both good and bad ways. Temperature also plays a big row in everyday life. For example, if the weather is good (no snow) it gives opportunity for more livestock to grow, and more carbon-diode to plants and also enough oxygen. But if the weather is cold or it snows, trees will be frozen, less amount of oxygen, carbon-dioxide and sometimes affect the growth of plants and animals. All species in a habitat regulate their own temperature in adapting to the system i.e. one species may be cold blooded or warm blooded and these temperatures may
