Human Ecology

The two great components of the ecosystem

• Biocenosis or biocoenosis (biotic) and Biotope (Abiotic)

• Temperature and humidity

• Flora and fauna

• Producers and Consumers

They are examples of abiotic factors

• Temperature and precipitation (rain)

• Trophic levels

• Biocenosis and Biotope

• Matter and energy

Sunlight, water, wind, rain, etc.

• Abiotic factors

• Biocenosis

• Biotic factors

• Ecosystem

Communities that interact

• Biotic factors

• Species

In mutualism

• Both species benefit

• One species benefits and the other suffers

• One species benefits and the other is not affected

• One species feeds on the other

In commensalism

• One species benefits and the other is not affected

• One benefits and the other harms

• Both species benefit

• Both are harmed
