Understanding the various substrate types is crucial for studying aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Substrates can be categorized into aquatic (e.g., rheophytic and floating), terrestrial (e.g., mineral, gravel, sand, clay), epiphytic (e.g., epiphyllous and corticolous), and semi-terrestrial (e.g., peatlands). Each substrate type has unique characteristics, such as attachment methods and moisture levels, influencing the growth of different species. This knowledge aids in conservation efforts and ecosystem management by providing insights into habitat requirements.
