<strong>Chapter</strong> 3<strong>Communities</strong>, <strong>Biomes</strong>, <strong>and</strong> <strong>Ecosystems</strong>3.1 Community Ecology<strong>Communities</strong>• A biologicalcommunity is agroup ofinteractingpopulations thatoccupy the samearea at the sametime.Oasis
<strong>Chapter</strong> 3<strong>Communities</strong>, <strong>Biomes</strong>, <strong>and</strong> <strong>Ecosystems</strong>3.1 Community EcologyLimiting Factors• Any abiotic factor or biotic factor that restrictsthe numbers, reproduction, or distribution oforganisms is called a limiting factor.• Includes sunlight, climate, temperature, water,nutrients, fire, soil chemistry, <strong>and</strong> space, <strong>and</strong>other living things
<strong>Chapter</strong> 3<strong>Communities</strong>, <strong>Biomes</strong>, <strong>and</strong> <strong>Ecosystems</strong>3.1 Community EcologyRange of Tolerance• An upper limit <strong>and</strong> lower limit that define theconditions in which an organism can survive• The ability of any organism to survive when subjectedto abiotic factors or biotic factors is called tolerance.
<strong>Chapter</strong> 3<strong>Communities</strong>, <strong>Biomes</strong>, <strong>and</strong> <strong>Ecosystems</strong>3.1 Community EcologyEcological Succession• The change in an ecosystem that happenswhen one community replaces another as aresult of changing abiotic <strong>and</strong> biotic factors isecological succession.• There are two types of ecological succession—primary succession <strong>and</strong> secondary succession.
