habitat The environment, usually the natural environment in which a population of plants or animals occurs.
habitat structure The physical structure of a habitat; e.g., the layering of vegetation in a forest or the grain of a coral reef.
Habitat
The place and its surroundings where a population (e.g., human, animal, plant, microorganism) lives, both living and non-living.
Habitat Indicator ...
Habitat: The place where a population (e.g. human, animal, plant, microorganism) lives and its surroundings, both living and non-living. It is its arrangement of food, water, shelter or cover and space suitable to an animal's needs.
Habitat Destruction is Another Potential Byproduct of Aquaculture
To control such outbreaks, many fish farmers treat their stocks with antibiotics that can also make their way into the oceans and wreak havoc.
Habitat Indicator: A physical attribute of the environment measured to characterize conditions necessary to support an organism, population, or community in the absence of pollutants; e.g.
habitat - (1) the natural home of an animal or plant; (2) the sum of the environmental conditions that determine the existence of a community in a specific place.
Habitat: The native environment where a plant or animal naturally grows or lives.
Habitat: The geographical location(s) and the associated set(s) of environmental conditions that are necessary for the flourishing of a particular type of plant or animal. In other words, their home.
Habitat: The place where a population lives, including its living and non living surroundings.
Hard Water: Alkaline water containing dissolved salts that interfere with some industrial processes and prevent soap from lathering.
Habitat is the local surroundings in which an organism normally lives. Other individuals of the same species (i.e. by a population) will share the habitat.
Habitat Area(s) of Particular Concern (HAPC)
Subsets of essential fish habitat that serve an important ecological function, are particularly sensitive to human-induced environmental degradation, ...
habitat: the arrangement of food, water, shelter, and space necessary for a species' survival.
illegal killing: illegal killing or collection of plants or animals.
migration: seasonal movements from one region to another.
H habitat destruction
Definition (english only)
Destruction of wildlife habitats by increasing pressure for land by fast-growing human populations, pollution and over-exploitation.

Habitat: The specific environment in which an organism lives and on which it depends for food and shelter.
Hardness: The concentration of calcium or magnesium in water; affects the availability of nutrients and toxic substances to stream organisms.
Habitat Place where a microorganism, plant or animal lives. Habitat diversity The range of habitats present in a region. Halophyte A plant that tolerates very salty soil.
habitat the kind of environment in which a certain organism normally lives
habitat unit the basic subdivision of the stream channel. Each habitat unit is characterized by a relatively similar gradient, substrate, and cross-sectional profile.
Riparian Habitat- Areas adjacent to rivers and streams with a differing density, diversity, and productivity of plant and animal species relative to nearby uplands.
Preserve Habitats
You can provide wildlife in your very own backyard with food, water, cover, and shelter for raising their young. And it doesn't matter whether your “backyard' is an apartment balcony or a grassy meadow.
Other aquatic habitats. Includes wetlands and deepwater habitats occurring in the Riverine, Lacustrine, or Marine Systems, and deepwater habitats occurring in the Estuarine System as defined by Cowardin et al. 1979 (see Wetlands).
These areas are unique habitats for many marine fishes and shellfishes Exposure Amount of pollution present in a given environment that represents a potential health threat to living organisms.
CARRYING CAPACITY This is the maximum number of organisms that can be supported or fed, or is able to survive in any specific habitat or ecosystem without causing the breakdown of that habitat or ecosystem.
Most organisms have a variety of food sources and can withstand some amount of habitat change.
Wetlands are important wildlife habitats, breeding grounds, and nurseries because of their biodiversity.
Habitat separation is the result of two populations delineated by environmental differences between their habitats. Time may also lead to speciation.
Anthropogenic Forcing - Influence exerted on a habitat or chemical environment by humans. This obliquely refers to the idea of managed environment as opposed to a wild or non-disturbed environment.
Ecological Indicator: A characteristic of the environment that, when measured, quantifies magnitude of stress, habitat characteristics, degree of exposure to a stressor, or ecological response to exposure.

Regeneration - Renewal of sites or habitats that have become unfit for human, animal, or plant habitation, bringing them back into productive use. The term most commonly refers to urban and industrial land.
A refuse heap marking the site of previous habitation.
mine dump
Area covered with overburden and other waste materials from ore and coal mines, quarries, and smelters, and usually having little or no vegetative cover. A miscellaneous land type.
mesic environment A habitat with a moderate amount of water. mesoscale eddies (mode eddies) In the ocean, dense and irregularly-oval high- and low- pressure centers about 400 km in diameter.
Organisms accidentally or intentionally dropped into habitats in which they do not evolve naturally; e.g. gypsy moths, Dutch elm disease, certain types of algae, and bacteria.

Generally, aspergillus fungi grows and increases in warm moist environments suitable for human habitation. Some aspergillus species are commonly found in water damaged environments, and can produce toxins.
Any biological substance, displaced from its normal habitat; a chemical foreign to a biological system.

Attic: any story or floor of a building situated wholly or partly within the roof, and so designed, arranged, or built to be used for business, storage, or habitation.
Examples of these are pollinization functions of insects and birds (without which no fruits or vegetables could grow); habitat provision for wild species of animals used by humans for food or other purposes; ...
Increasing global temperature means that ecosystems may change; some species may be forced out of their habitats (possibly to extinction) because of changing conditions, while others may flourish.
