ecological niche
Definition
- The range of combinations of all relevant environmental variables under which a species or population can persist; often more loosely used to describe the "role" of a species, or the resources it utilizes.
Glossary of "Environmental Science: Earth as a Living Planet (2nd ed.)" by Botkin & Keller (1998)
- The general concept is that the niche is a species' "profession"--what it does to make a living. The term is also used to refer to a set of environmental conditions within which a species is able to persist.
