Nichetum

Nichetum is a term used in the context of biology, particularly in ecology. It refers to the specific role or niche that a species occupies within its habitat. This includes how the species interacts with other organisms, how it obtains resources, and its contribution to the ecosystem. Understanding a species' nichetum helps scientists gauge its significance in maintaining ecological balance, biodiversity, and the overall health of its environment. Essentially, it’s about understanding the "job" a species does in its ecosystem.
