Desert
Arid sandy, stony or rocky substrate landscapes with a sparse plant cover, except in depressions where water accumulates.
Rocky areas
Defined by minimal soil, sparse vegetation, and extreme conditions.
Grassland
Comprised of grasses and broadleaved herbaceous plants, and are either without woody plants.
Marine deep ocean floor
The bottom habitats described in the marine deep ocean floor zone are used by both benthic and demersal organisms.
Unknown
Not yet classified or where the habitat type is unclear.
Other
A habitat type not covered by any of the other categories in the system.
Shrubland
Includes ecosystems dominated by shrubs and low woody vegetation, often interspersed with grasses or sparse trees.
Artificial aquatic
Human-made water bodies such as reservoirs, canals, and ponds.
Marine neritic
Submergent (below extreme low tide), nearshore, on or over the continental shelf or oceanic island shelf.
Marine coastal
Coastal habitats above the high tide mark.
Artificial terrestrial
Human-made environments such as urban areas, agricultural lands, and transport corridors.
Wetlands (inland)
Characterized by waterlogged soils, seasonal or permanent water, and vegetation adapted to saturated conditions.
Marine oceanic
The pelagic habitat deeper than and beyond the continental or island shelf.
Forest
Continuous stand of trees and includes both forested areas (generally with a closed canopy) and wooded areas.
Caves & subterranean habitats
Limited light, stable climates, and unique ecosystems, supporting specialized species adapted to dark, nutrient-scarce conditions.
Marine intertidal
Area of the shore between the extremes of high and low tides.
