Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lodgepole pines are occupying their fundamental niche, as they are able to thrive and reproduce in the conditions present in the coniferous forest. A realized niche, on the other hand, is the actual niche occupied by a species in a specific community due to biotic interactions and resource availability. A community is a group of different species living in the same area. A population refers to a group of individuals of the same species living in the same area. A biome is a large geographic area characterized by a specific type of vegetation, climate, and fauna.
