cliffside habitats

Cliffside habitats are unique ecosystems found on steep rock faces and cliffs, characterized by rocky terrain, strong winds, and limited soil. They provide a home to specially adapted plants and animals that thrive under these harsh conditions. For example, some plants have deep roots to anchor themselves, while birds often nest on high ledges to avoid predators. These habitats can be found in coastal areas, mountains, and other regions, offering a rich diversity of life and playing a crucial role in local biodiversity. Cliffside habitats are also important for erosion control and can influence nearby ecosystems.
