Field stations are specialized research facilities located in natural environments, such as forests, oceans, or deserts. They provide scientists and researchers with the tools and resources needed to study ecosystems, wildlife, and environmental changes. These stations often include laboratories, living quarters, and equipment for conducting experiments and collecting data in the field. Many universities and organizations operate field stations to support various studies, from marine biology to climate change. By working directly in nature, researchers can observe and analyze real-world conditions, leading to a better understanding of how different factors affect the environment and informing conservation efforts.
