Within the field of biology, the surface on which an animal or plant lives is known as a substrate, this element can include both abiotic elements and biotic elements, an example of this is the forest trees, which can serve as a substrate for some species to inhabit the upper part of the trunk of said trees.
There is no doubt that the substrate greater dominance has on the environment is the ground because it is in said substrate where vegetables are supported and can deploy their leaves in the air at the same time the soil is responsible for providing water and minerals which are of great importance for plant development, other inorganic supplies that can be found in it are oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen and carbon. In the case of aquatic biomes, it is important to mention that there is a great variety of living beings that use a great diversity of elements as substrates, the most common being rocks.and all those materials that are derived from it, that is why generally substrates in aquatic environments are mostly made up of sand, gravel, loose stones, smooth rock or mud.
In the case of aquatic ecosystems, it should be noted that the variability of the textures in the content of the nutritive elements and the level of stability presented by the materials, has repercussions on the distribution and growth of the organisms that inhabit that substrate..
On the other hand, in the field of linguistics the term substrate is also used, in this case to refer to the influence that one language exerts on another, in aspects such as phonetics, vocabulary and grammar. Generally, these differences can be appreciated when some population is invaded or conquered by another and the language spoken in that place has an influence on the one that will replace it.
According to some historians and connoisseurs of the language, when Latin was established as the second most widely spoken language within the Roman Empire, each village that adopted it made use of the grammatical and phonetic elements of their native language, which generally differ from Latin, which is why a part of the original language always remained on top of the new one.
