ecological community

An ecological community is a group of different species that live and interact in a specific area. These species—plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms—depend on each other and their environment for survival. Their relationships, such as predation, competition, and cooperation, shape the community’s structure and function. The health and diversity of a community influence how well it can withstand changes and support life. Essentially, it’s a web of interconnected living things sharing resources and influencing one another within a shared habitat.
