Why are snails found under stones and leaf litter?
Snails seek shelter under stones and leaf litter to protect themselves from predators, desiccation, and extreme temperatures. These environments provide a moist microhabitat that is essential for their survival, as snails are vulnerable to drying out. Additionally, the organic materials found in leaf litter can serve as a food source, allowing them to thrive in these hidden spots.
Why does leaf litter habitat able to maintain a constant temperature?
Leaf litter habitat is able to maintain a relatively constant temperature due to the insulating properties of the decomposing organic matter. The layer of leaf litter acts as a buffer, preventing rapid fluctuations in temperature and helping to regulate the microclimate within the habitat. Additionally, the decomposing organic material generates heat as it breaks down, contributing to a more stable temperature environment.
