    02-EnVI SCI - Ecological Principles and Concepts

    Uploaded by

    Jochebed Reyes
    This document outlines key concepts in ecosystem and community ecology. It describes the biotic components of ecosystems like producers, consumers, and decomposers as well as abiotic components like climate and soil. Several factors that influence the distribution of plants and animals are discussed, including climate, competition, predation, diseases, and human influence. Community ecology is then introduced, focusing on ecological niches and interactions between organisms within a shared environment.
