woodland ecosystems
Woodland ecosystems are areas dominated by trees and other vegetation, providing habitats for various wildlife. These ecosystems can be found in temperate, tropical, and boreal regions, featuring a mix of trees, shrubs, and ground cover. Common tree species include oak, pine, and maple, which contribute to the biodiversity of the area.
In woodland ecosystems, the layers of vegetation create different habitats for animals. Birds, mammals, insects, and fungi all play essential roles in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem. The rich soil in these areas supports plant growth, while the trees provide shelter and food for many species, making woodlands vital for ecological health.
