| Most
importante Ecological factors of the Hypogeon life. |
|
| (Hypogeon
means the habitat of the organisms living under the suface of
the ground, Epigeon is the habitat of organisms living up
the surface of the ground.) |
|
 |
Environmental
limits for life. This means that species
live in places that are not usual for life and that they are
most influenced by the climatic factors. |

It
can be compared to life in deserts, high
mountins and deep sea. In deserts life is
hard due to the absence of water and very hot conditions. In
highj mountins there is a lot of snow during the year, it is
cold and freezes. Under deep see the pressure is high and there
is no light. All factors that makes it hard to live. |

Poor
Biodiversity. Number of Faunistic and Floristic
species, very low. In these habitats the
number of species is very low. Much less than life of
normal places. The higher you go in the mountins less species
you find. It is the same thing if you go more north from the
equator to the pole. |

.. |
|
Species
are most specilized in there invironment. The specialization
is very important. Only specialized animals can survive and live
in such difficult climets. For example in deep sea it is totaly
dark and many species have organs that make light in order to
make it easy for finding food or mate. |
