abiotic nonliving, physical features of the environment, including air, water, sunlight, soil, temperature, and climate biodiversity the number of different species in a given area biome a group of ecosystems that share similar climates and typical organisms biotic the living organisms in an ecosystem Coastal Plain Region a region in eastern North Carolina defined by low, flat land; mild winters and summers; and sandy, fertile soil that supports much of the agriculture in the state ecosystem a system formed by the interaction of a community of organisms with their physical environment habitat loss the greatest threat to a species is the loss, degradation, and fragmenting of the place where it lives. invasive species species that have migrated to areas where they did not originate; often displace native species by outcompeting them for resources Mountain Region a region in western North Carolina defined by high elevations; cooler climate with the Appalachians that diverts cold, Canadian air masses from the rest of the state; and rich, rocky soil native species species that have naturally evolved in an area niche full range of physical and biological conditions in which an organism lives and the way in which the organism uses those conditions nonnative species species that migrate into an ecosystem or are deliberately or accidentally introduced into an ecosystem by humans. overharvesting catching or removing from a population more organisms than the population can replace Piedmont Region a region in central North Carolina defined by hilly, rolling land; milder winters and hotter summers; and clay soil population group of individuals of the same species that live in the same area
