Discover the Science of Urban Habitats
Urban habitats are areas within cities where plants, animals, and humans coexist, often in close proximity. These habitats provide unique challenges and opportunities for natural science research, considering the high levels of human activity and development.
Key Characteristics of Urban Habitats:
- High density of buildings and infrastructure
- Temperature variations known as the 'urban heat island' effect
- Presence of diverse plant and animal species adapted to urban life
