Editing Habitat extent (area) (section)

== Boundary Conditions ==
Boundary inclusions encompass all natural terrestrial, freshwater, and marine habitats that provide ecological functions and support biodiversity. This includes forests, wetlands, grasslands, coral reefs, and other biomes characterized by native vegetation and ecological integrity. Areas undergoing natural seasonal variation or successional stages are included as part of habitat extent.

Boundary exclusions comprise urbanized, agricultural, and heavily modified landscapes lacking natural habitat characteristics. Artificial structures, barren lands without ecological function, and areas permanently altered by industrial activities are excluded. Temporary disturbances that do not result in permanent habitat loss are also generally excluded from boundary considerations.
