Populations And Ecosystems
Plants in relationship to their ecosystems
Biotic components
The plant itself
Plants modify their ecosystems by existing
Other plants
Can cause competition or help each other
Other organisms
Animals, fungi, and prokaryotes
Relationships can be beneficial of detrimental
Abiotic components
Climate
Vitally important to a plants survival
Soil factors
Formed by breakdown of rock
Affect how well a plant can grow
Latitude and altitude
Affect the weather of days
Disturbance
Phenomena such as fires, landslides, avalanches, and floods
Operational habitat are the aspects that affect a plant
Structure of ecosystems
Physiognomic structure
Physical size and shape in relation to each other and their environment
Species composition
Number and diversity of species in an ecosystem
Temporal structure
Changes of an environment with time
Trophic levels
Feeding levels
Consumers
Organisms that consume producers or other consumers to get energy
Decomposers
Organisms that consume deceased organisms for energy
Producers
Organisms that produce energy
Structure of populations
Geographic distribution
Boundaries of the geographic range
:Limiting factor
Factor that contains population growth
Local geographic distribution
Small-scale distribution of individuals
Age distribution
r-Selection
Population growth is limited by the species' own biotic potential
k-Selection
Population growth is limited by the carrying capacity of the ecosystem
