or they may even vanish from the ecosystem altogether. Similarly‚ over some time interval‚ other species within the community may become more abundant‚ or new species may even invade into the community from adjacent ecosystems. This observed change over time in what is living in a particular ecosystem is "ecological succession". why it occurs Every species has a set of environmental conditions under which it will grow and reproduce most optimally. In a given ecosystem‚ and under that ecosystem’s

An explanation of the key abiotic components of the ecosystem? That are non-living chemical and physical factors in the environment‚ which affect ecosystems. A good example is that a lot of small bushes and shrubs would not be able to live here because all the really tall trees would block most of the sunlight causing a lack

referred to as Gause’s law of competitive exclusion or just Gause’s law‚ is a proposition which states that two species competing for the same resources cannot coexist if other ecological factors are the same. When one species has even the slightest advantage or edge over another‚ then the one with the advantage will dominate in the long term. One of the two competitors will always overcome the other‚ leading to either the extinction of this competitor or an evolutionary or behavioral shift

Food web From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia A freshwater aquatic and terrestrial food web. A food web (or food cycle) depicts feeding connections (what eats what) in an ecological communityand hence is also referred to as a consumer-resource system. Ecologists can broadly lump all life forms into one of two categories called trophic levels: 1) the autotrophs‚ and 2) the heterotrophs. To maintaintheir bodies‚ grow‚ develop‚ and to reproduce‚ autotrophs produce organic matter from inorganicsubstances
