  2. Ecosystems An ecosystem is a region formed by the interaction of living organisms interacting with one another and their physical environments. A community is an ecological grouping of different kinds of organisms that live together in a particular place at a particular time and interact with one another. A habitat is simply where an organism lives. A niche is the role of an organism in an ecosystem, often defined by the environmental, biological and other conditions in which it lives. A particular niche, such a predatory bird may be filled by different animals in different ecosystems. For example the wedge-tailed eagle in Australia, and the bald Eagle in America.

  3. Abiotic vs. Biotic Factors Snowy Mountains • Oxygen Levels • Rainfall • Altitude • Water • CO2 • Habitats • Weather • Shelter • Sunlight • Predators • Food availability • Mating • Competition

  4. Communities within the Ecosystem As an example of a community within a Snowy Mountain ecosystem would be animals living in a cave. Bugs live within the cave feeding off different fungi and mosses. Within that other same animals such as rodents feed off the bugs. Those small rodent animals are then eaten by larger animals like Snow Leopards. All these animals live within the same place at the same time and interact with one another within the same particular place.
