the interactions between organims

a living part of an ecosystem

a factor found only in mountainous regions

contributes to the rapid growth of an environment

something that an organism relies on in an environment

a condition or resource that keeps a population at a certain size

a form of migration

the non-living components of an ecosystem would demonstrate this concept

a species in which other species in an ecosystem largely depend, such that if it were removed the ecosystem would change dramatically

the study of classification of plants and animals

the study of how organisms interact with their environment

the study of genetics

the study of ancient artifacts

a non-living part of an ecosystem

a living part of an ecosystem

the interactions between living and non-living parts of an ecosystem

the biosphere

one of the world's major communities classified according to predominant vegetation and characterized by an organisms adaptations to the environment

A large land mass arising in most desert communities

a large species of animals living in a particular area

regional plants and animals

a marine biome

the physical structure of an animal dwelling

a niche an organism belongs to

a place where an animal naturally lives and grows

the ocean would be an example

is a large area such as a biome

a very small specialized habitat, such as the space under a rock

where animals rest at night

interactions only between biotic factors

a system consisting of all the interactions that occur between biotic and abiotic factors

interactions only between abiotic factors

a community of animals
