What’s on the Levels of Ecological Organisation poster
A 6-row table: Level · What it is.
Each level contains the one below it.
- Organism — one individual
- Population — all of one species in an area
- Community — all the populations in an area
- Ecosystem — the community plus non-living factors
- Biome — all ecosystems of one type worldwide
- Biosphere — every living thing on Earth
The step from community to ecosystem is where non-living factors enter — soil, water, climate.
