forest habitats
Sylvan living spaces
Forest habitats are the ecological environments found within forested areas, where particular communities of plants and animals live and interact.
The term appears in conservation biology, wildlife management, and environmental policy: Logging threatens critical forest habitats for endangered species.
Different forest types—tropical rainforest, temperate deciduous, boreal—support distinct habitats with characteristic biodiversity.
