Ecological Microenvironment

The ecological microenvironment refers to the immediate surroundings that directly impact a living organism’s well-being. This includes factors like the quality of the air, water, soil, and the presence of other plants and animals nearby. It also encompasses human influences such as pollution, urbanization, and resource availability. These local conditions affect how well an organism can survive, grow, and reproduce. Understanding the microenvironment helps in managing ecosystems, conserving biodiversity, and ensuring sustainable use of natural resources. It is a localized context that shapes the health and stability of specific ecosystems or populations.
