Study Notes
Ecosystem and Community
- An ecosystem is a community of living and non-living components interacting with each other in a specific environment.
Interdependence in a Community
- Interdependence in a community refers to the mutual reliance and interactions between different species, including plants, animals, and microorganisms, within an ecosystem.
Resource Competition
- Plants in an ecosystem compete for essential resources such as light, water, nutrients, and space.
Community in Ecology
- A community in ecology refers to a group of different species living and interacting with each other in a specific area or habitat.
Species-Habitat Relationship
- The relationship between a species and its habitat is one of interdependence, where the species adapts to the habitat and the habitat, in turn, supports the survival and growth of the species.
