Community ecology, study of the organization and functioning of communities, which are assemblages of interacting populations of the species living within a particular area or habitat. As populations of species interact with one another, they form biological communities.
In ecology, a community is a group or association of populations of two or more different species occupying the same geographical area at the same time, also known as a biocoenosis, biotic community, biological community, ecological community, or life assemblage. The term community has a variety of uses.
4 cze 2019 · Community ecology examines complex relationships between species and their shared environment. Some species hunt and compete, while others peacefully coexist. The natural world includes many types of ecological communities having a unique structure and assemblage of plant and animal populations.
community, in biology, an interacting group of various species in a common location. For example, a forest of trees and undergrowth plants, inhabited by animals and rooted in soil containing bacteria and fungi, constitutes a biological community. A brief treatment of biological communities follows. For full treatment, see Biosphere.
27 kwi 2017 · A biotic community, also known as a biota or ’biocoenosis’, is the group of organisms that live together and interact with each other within an environment or habitat. Together, the biotic community and the physical landscape or abiotic factors make up an ecosystem.
Communities are complex entities that can be characterized by their structure (the types and numbers of species present) and dynamics (how communities change over time). Understanding community structure and dynamics enables community ecologists to manage ecosystems more effectively.
An ecological community is a group of actually or potentially interacting species living in the same location. Communities are bound together by a shared environment and a network of influence...
