Habitat

서식지

Definition

The natural environment where an organism lives, providing the food, shelter, and conditions necessary for survival.

Detailed Explanation

Habitat quality shapes every aspect of a species' survival — a forest bird needs not just trees, but the right tree species, understory density, and food availability. Habitat is multidimensional: a salmon requires cool oxygenated water, clean gravel beds for spawning, and intact riparian zones. Even small changes in one element can render an otherwise intact landscape unsuitable.
