ecology

unity. The second component is called evenness, which is the degree to which the different species are represented in a community. - Stability is the concept of the ability of a community to handle disturbance or to resist being disturbed. It also can refer to resilience of a community (that is, its ability to recover quickly from a disturbance. Certain communities can be called "fragile' which is used to refer to communities that have low stability when faced with human disturbance. Competition involves a struggle for limited resource. Exploitative competition is the use of the same resources in which one competitor has greater access than the other to the resources is. Interference competition is actual fighting over resources. Intraspecific competition is between members of the same species and interspecific competition is between different species. The competition exclusion principle is that no two species can occupy the same niche at the same time. Because the niche of an organism (the way in which it interacts with its environment) is often dependent on how it fares in competition with its neighbors, both kind of competition is important in the structure of the community. BIOMES Biome is defined as large, distinct and recognizable associations of life. More precisely, a biome is a particular array of plants and animals within a geographic area brought about by distinctive climatic conditions. Their plant associations than those of animals, not only usually identify biomes more because the first is far more obvious, but also because it determines the second. Ecologists recognize about a dozen major biomes, each one forms under a certain prevailing climate and has a characteristic type of plant and animal life. Some examples of biomes include grassland, deserts, and deciduous forests. Biomes may be subdivided into communities. CONCLUSION For this paper, I read a lot of books and did a lot of research on Internet. I learned a lot abo...
