Terrestrial Habitats
Terrestrial habitats are the places where land meets water. These habitats can be found in a variety of environments, including forests, grasslands, deserts, and tundras. Each of these habitats has its own unique characteristics and supports different types of plant and animal life.
Types of Terrestrial Habitats
- Forest: A habitat with a dense growth of trees and underbrush.
- Grassland: An area dominated by grasses and other herbaceous plants.
- Desert: A dry, arid region with little to no vegetation.
- Tundra: A cold, treeless habitat found in the Arctic and high mountain areas.
Characteristics of Terrestrial Habitats
Terrestrial habitats vary widely in their characteristics, including temperature, precipitation, soil type, and vegetation. These factors influence the types of organisms that can survive and thrive in these habitats.

Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics
Use evidence and scientific reasoning to explain how characteristic animal behaviors (e.g., building nests to protect young from cold, herding to protect young from predators, attracting mates for breeding by producing special sounds and displaying colorful plumage, transferring pollen or seeds to create conditions for seed germination and growth) and specialized plant structures (e.g., flower brightness, nectar, and odor attracting birds that transfer pollen; hard outer shells on seeds providing protection prior to germination) affect the probability of successful reproduction of both animals and plants.
