1. ECOSYSTEM
1.Population- consists of all individuals of a
species that are found in a specific area.
2.Community- is composed of populations of
different species.
3.All of these populations together with the
physical factors found in the environment
comprise an ecosystem.
2. Abiotic
•the ability of an ecosystem to support a
group of organisms depends on the
resources available and on abiotic factors. It
includes the following:
1. Light and water
2. Temperature
3. Soil composition
Editor's Notes
In the presence of adequate biotic and abiotic resources and the absence of diseases or disasters, populations increase at rapid rates.
Aside from the availability of resources, the relationships within an ecosystem contribute to the increase (or decrease) of a population. Organisms interact with one another to meet their basic needs.
