2. list some abiotic and some biotic factors in a habitat. 3. compare the various factors found in a microhabitat with the same factors in the general habitat. A variety of organisms live in almost any habitat you could name. Each organism has its own way of life which often requires a different environment from that of other organisms. For example, some birds prefer the upper branches of a tree while others like the trunks and low shrubs near the ground.
Organisms inhabit specific microhabitats within the environment of a general habitat.
This activity will help you to learn more about a given habitat by comparing microhabitat within the habitat and its organisms with the given habitat and its organisms. 1. Work in groups of three. One person should keep a record of plants, another should be responsible for animals, and the third physical factors. Each person should keep a record of findings of the group. Select a microhabitat for study in the school area.
