What is a habitat?

A habitat is a home environment for plants and animals or other organisms. Examples of habitats include:

  • desert
  • meadow
  • woodland
  • grassland
  • forest
  • seashore
  • ocean

micro-habitat is a very specific, small home environment for plants, animals and insects. Examples include:

  • ponds
  • individual trees
  • under a stone
  • a pile of logs.
