Biodiversity
Biodiversity is variety of life on Earth, in all its forms and all its interactions
Comprised of several levels: genes, then individual species, then communities of creatures and finally entire ecosystems, such as forests, where life interplays with the physical environment.
If an ecosystem is undamaged, it produces a finely balanced, healthy system which contributes to a healthy sustainable planet.

Biotic + Abiotic
Biotic Characteristics
-
-
Sorted into producers, consumers, decomposers
Producers: a.k.a. autotrophs, makes food for themselves by converting energy into food through photosynthesis
Consumers: a.k.a. heterotrophs, depends on producers and other heterotrophs for food
Decomposers: a.k.a. detritivores, breaks down chemicals from producers and consumers so the energy can be reused
Abiotic Characteristics
-
Influences the ecosystem in terms of growth, maintenance and reproduction
Water, light, radiation, temperature, humidity, atmosphere, acidity, soil
