COMMUNITIES

"All living things (organisms) in an ecosystem make up it's community"

_____________________

Communities are made up of populations.

Populations are groups of individual organisms "of the same kind" that live in a specific area together.

A population of deer may live in a forest. A population of birch trees may inhabit the same forest. A population of snowy owls may inhabit the forest as well. All these populations together make up the community.
