What is an ecological niche? Write down its significance

Answer: Ecology defines a niche as the compatibility of a species with a particular environmental circumstance. The response of an organism or population to the distribution of resources and competition, as well as how it changes those same factors, are described. Abiotic (non-living) and biotic (living) variables influence a species’ niche and impact its capacity for survival.

Ecological niches are significant for a particular location because : 

• They permit coexistence of several species. 
• Each species knows its place in the food chain and ecology, and there is typically no rivalry. 
• The number of niches defines an ecosystem’s diversity since they affect how many species may live there.
