Relating to or specific to a particular ecological environment or habitat.
Compound of 'eco-' (environment) and 'specific' (particular, unique). This term developed in 20th-century ecology to describe characteristics unique to certain environmental conditions.
If a plant is ecospecific to wetlands, it means that particular habitat is so perfect for it that you basically won't find it thriving anywhere else—it's picky about its home.
