part of earth in which life exists, including land, water, and air or atmosphere.

any living part of the environment with which an organism might interact

physical, or nonliving, factor that shapes an ecosystem

organism that is able to capture energy firm sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce its own food

process in which chemical energy is used to produce carbohydrates

population distribution

the way individuals are spaced out across there range

a populations may increase if individuals move into its range from else where

a populations may decrease in size if individual move out of the population range

an area with a particular combination of physical and biological environmental that affect which organisms live

describes where an organism lives and what it does "for living'' including the way it reacts with biotic and ( something else) factors.

competitive exclusion principle

states that no two species can exactly the same niche in exactly the same exact time.

a relationship which one organism benefts and the others is neither helped nor harmed (whales)

a relationship between two species in which both species benefit.

a relationship in which one organism lives inside or on another organisms and harms

success that begins on a newly formed rock or other areas that have no remnants of an older.

when a disturbance effects on existing community but does not completely destroy it

the number of deaths in a given population scaled to the size of that group

an animal that eats only plants, grass, fruits, leaves, and other vegetation

an animal or organism that naturally eats both plants and animals to get its energy and nutrients

an organism, such as an animal or plant, that gets its energy and nutrition mainly or exclusively from eating other animals

a parasite that lives on the outside surface or upper skin layers of a host organism

a parasite that lives inside the internal organs, tissues, or cells of its host organism
