A habitat that has formed in areas affected by volcanic activity.

Volcanic ecosystems develop on lava flows, ash fields, geothermal areas (hot springs, fumaroles) and submarine hydrothermal vents. They often start with primary succession, have unique soils and specialist organisms (pioneer plants, lichens, thermophiles, chemosynthetic microbes), and are shaped by heat, mineral input and disturbance from eruptions.
