Community   the different species that live together in a habitat  
🗑
Ecosystem   ecological system, consitst of a community and all the physical aspects  
🗑

🗑
Biotic Factors   organisms in a habitat  
🗑
Biodiversity   the variety of organisms and their genetic differences and ecosystems in which they occur  
🗑
Pioneer Species   the first organisms to live in a new habitat  
🗑
Succession   Regular progessions of species replacement  
🗑
Seconadary Sucession   Secondary succession is one of the two types of ecological succession of plant life. As opposed to the first, primary succession, secondary succession is a process started by an event.  
🗑
Primary Productivity   Synthesis of organic materials (biomass) by green plants using the energy captured in photosynthesis  
🗑
Consumers   Synthesis of organic materials (biomass) by green plants using the energy captured in photosynthesis  
🗑
Trophic Level   1.Each of several hierarchical levels in an ecosystem, comprising organisms that share the same function in the food chain and the same nutritional relationship to the primary sources of energy  
🗑
Food chain   A hierarchical series of organisms each dependent on the next as a source of food  
🗑
Producers   Produces organisms in an ecosystem that captures energy  
🗑

🗑
Food web   A system of interlocking and interdependent food chains  
🗑
Energy Pyramid   An ecological pyramid (or trophic pyramid) is a graphical representation designed to show the biomass or biomass productivity at each trophic level in a given ecosystem  
🗑
Biomes   1.A large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat, e.g., forest or tundra  
🗑
Biogeochemical   1.Relating to or denoting the cycle in which chemical elements and simple substances are transferred between living systems and the environment  
🗑
Ground water   underground water that is held in the soil and in pervious rocks  
🗑
Transpiration   The evaporation of water through leaves of plants  
🗑
Nitrogen fixation   1.The chemical processes by which atmospheric nitrogen is assimilated into organic compounds, esp. by certain microorganisms as part of the nitrogen cycle  
🗑
