A non-living chemical or physical factor in the environment, such as soil, pH, forest fire, etc.

organism capable of making nutritive organic molecules from inorganic sources via photosynthesis (involving light energy) or chemosynthesis (involving chemical energy).

roup of interdependent organisms living and interacting with each other in the same habitat.

the total mass of organisms in a given area or volume.

a large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat, e.g., forest or tundra.

he regions of the surface, atmosphere, and hydrosphere of the earth (or analogous parts of other planets) occupied by living organisms.

A factor created by a living thing or any living component within an environment in which the action of the organism affects the life of another organism, for example a predator consuming its prey.

largest number of individuals of a particular species that can survive over long periods of time in a given enviroment, this level depends on the effect of the limiting factors
