diverse habitats
Many different environments
Diverse habitats are the varied environments where organisms live—forests, wetlands, deserts, coral reefs, grasslands.
The phrase appears frequently in conservation contexts, where protecting diverse habitats means preserving the range of ecosystems that support different species: The national park encompasses diverse habitats, from alpine meadows to old-growth forest.
Biodiversity depends on habitat diversity.
