Species occurrence

Species occurrence refers to the presence or detection of a particular species in a specific area over a certain period. It involves observing where and when a species is found, which helps scientists understand biodiversity, ecosystem health, and species distribution. This information is crucial for conservation efforts, enabling researchers to track changes in populations, identify habitats, and assess the impacts of environmental changes. By studying species occurrences, we gain insights into the relationships between species and their environments, ultimately guiding strategies to protect and preserve the natural world.
