LIFE SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -In ecological terms, a niche describes the way of life of a species. Each species is thought to have a separate, unique niche. The ecological niche describes how a population responds to the distribution of resources and competitors, and what total environmental space the organism occupies (wikipedia.org).

Detailed explanation-2: -The niche concept is one of the core concepts in ecology and has been rediscovered by modern ecology for explaining biodiversity and species coexistence patterns (Pocheville, 2015). The niche-based theory states that an ecological community is made up of a limited number of niches, each occupied by a single species.

Detailed explanation-3: -A habitat is the place where an organism lives while a niche is that organism’s role within that environment. Habitat focuses on how the environment impacts the organism while nich focuses on how the organism impacts the environment.
