Document Summary
Terrestrial ecosystems take place on firm ground and in the air. Terrestrial ecosystems are those ecosystems that take place on firm ground and in the air, or in geographic features (mountains, etc. ), places where they find everything they need to be born, grow and reproduce. They are distinguished from aquatic and mixed ecosystems in that they do not have a predominance of large bodies of water, such as lakes, rivers or seas. Even so, they present diverse ranges of precipitations, depending on their geographic and climatic characteristics. Flying, terrestrial and underground animals cohabit in terrestrial ecosystems. Similarly, these ecosystems are some of the most affected by pollution and by the incidence of human activities, such as logging, urban sprawl, or the accumulation of solid waste. Life on earth has a greater presence of light and cleanliness of the environment.
