Factors affecting terrestrial habitats that are common to aquatic habitats have already been discussed and they include:
- Temperature
- Rainfall
- Wind
- Light
- Pressure
- pH
- Oxygen
Other EcologicalEcology is the study of organisms and how they interact with the environment around them. An ecologist studies the relationship between living things and their habitats. More Factors Common to Terrestrial Habitats are;
Relative Humidity (Atmospheric Factors):
Humidity is the amount of water vapour in the air. The humidity will be high if there is a lot of water vapour in the air. The higher the humidity, the wetter it feels outside. Relative humidity is the amount of water vapour in the air relative to the maximum amount of water vapor that the air can hold at a certain temperature. It affects the rate of transpirationPlants absorb a lot of water and transpiration is a means by which excess water is removed More from plants and evaporation from animals.
