 | | Shingle beaches are often the habitat of a number of specialized plants, such as the yellow horned poppy Glaucium flavum seen here, which have a tolerance of salt, poor soils, and strong winds. |
 | | Some habitats are so precise that they are called microhabitats, such as the area under a stone where a particular type of insect lives. |
 | | For example, a plant such as the flberry may grow in an open habitat, such as a field, or in a shaded one, such as woodland. |
