Ecology Definitions A2 ^-^

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. To be honest, there hasn't really been a large amount of notes to take at the time, however, I will try to consolidate them myself over the coming weeks.

Anywho...

Habitat: The place in which an organism lives.

Population: A group of organisms of the same species within a particular habitat.

Community: The total number of different populations within a particular habitat.

Niche: The position of an organism within an ecosystem dependant upon the amount of resources it uses. The more resoures looked into, the more carefully definied the niche of the organism will be.

Ecosystem: The BIOTIC communtity, living in an ABIOTIC environment.
