bunndyrsamfunn
Bunndyrsamfunn, a Norwegian term that translates to "basic animal community" or "foundation animal community" in English, refers to a concept in ecology and environmental science. It describes the fundamental group of animal species that inhabit a particular ecosystem and play crucial roles in maintaining its structure and function. These species are typically the primary consumers, decomposers, and other key organisms that contribute to the ecosystem's stability and biodiversity.
The concept of bunndyrsamfunn is rooted in the understanding that ecosystems are complex networks of interactions
In Norway, the study of bunndyrsamfunn is particularly relevant due to the country's diverse and fragile ecosystems,
