Ecological species is a term used to describe a group of organisms that occupy a particular ecological niche or a unique set of environmental conditions. Synonyms for this term include ecological community, ecosystemic species, environmental species, and niche-dependent species. These words all describe species that live in a particular ecosystem and have adapted to the specific conditions of that ecosystem. They depend on the environmental conditions of their habitat and interact with other species in their ecosystem, playing an essential role in maintaining the balance of that ecosystem. Understanding the diverse species that make up an ecological community is crucial for conservation efforts and can help us to better protect our planet's biodiversity and environmental health.
