=// The American Marten martes americana //= __**Natural Habitat:**__ Martens used to live in evergreen forests but now they are found to live in leafy forests. The trees and forest would be biotic factors, but the rocks, air, and water would be abiotic. __**Niche:**__ Martens sometimes eat fishers, bobcats, great horned owls, and eagles. They are good climbers. The population of them tends to follow the primary prey abundance. They are scared of humans easily, and are caught and trapped easily. They usually compete with other carnivorous frorest dwelling animals. They compete for space with cavity using species. __**How will the future ecosystem if the species goes extinct?**__ Sources:
 * __Why is this animal endangered?__** To be endangered is to be threatened with extinction. The marten is threatened because it is often trapped for its fur, and its habitat (leafy forests) are being cut down so they have no where to live.
 * __What is the current population size?__ The ** American marten is classified as a furbearer. This protection is allowing the species to make a partial comeback.
