Terrestrial research refers to scientific studies and inquiries conducted on land-based ecosystems and environments, rather than in aquatic or marine environments. This research area often focuses on understanding the ecology, biodiversity, geology, and geography of terrestrial ecosystems, as well as investigating the interactions between organisms and their environment. Terrestrial research encompasses a wide range of disciplines, including biology, ecology, geology, climatology, and environmental science, and plays a crucial role in informing conservation efforts, land management practices, and understanding the impacts of human activities on terrestrial ecosystems.
