Habitat vs. niche group activity

Habitat is a place in which an animals lives

A niche is the organisms place or job in the environment

Habitat:

Habitat may be defined as the particular area occupied by the organism. Habitat involves the physical activity performed by the organism in its area. Habitat only reflects the living place of the organism. Habitat explains where the species live in the ecosystem.

Niche:

Niche may be defined as the role of the individual organism in its ecosystem. The function or the physiological activity of the organism in the area describes the niche. The association of the organism with the biotic and abiotic component to obtain food is included in niche. Niches explains the way by which organism live in an ecosystem.

increase soil erosion                                             reduce soil erosion

cattle grazing                                                         hydroseeding

deforestation                                                         contour plowing

                                                                                planting vegetation

plant roots basically hold the top soil

together and stop soil erosion because

in such situation top soil is not removed

during flood but cattle grazing causes

soil erosion because cattle consume the

grasses and herbs and top soil is exposed.

same situation occurs because of

deforestation, the trees and plants are cut

down to expose top soil which causes soil

erosion
