Ecological Levels of Organization • Ecologists have organized the interactions an organism takes part in different levels according to complexity. 1 Ecological Levels of Organization Ecological Levels of Organization • Individual- one organism (living) • Species- a group of similar organisms that can breed and produce fertile offspring. • Eg. moose Ecological Levels of Organization • Populationgroups of individuals that belong to the same species and live in the same area. • Eg. many moose Ecological Levels of Organization • Communitygroups of different populations (more than one population or different groups of species) Eg. many groups of moose beavers, trees, grass (all living) Ecological Levels of Organization • Ecosystemall organisms in a particular area along with the nonliving. (living and nonliving) Eg. many groups of moose beavers, trees, grass, rocks, water, mountains Ecological Levels of Organization • Biome- group of ecosystems that have the same climate and similar dominant communities • Biomes: tropical rain forest, tropical dry forest, tropical savannah, temperate grassland, desert, temperate woodland and shrubland, temperate forest, northwestern coniferous forest, boreal forest (taiga), tundra, mountains and ice caps Ecological Levels of Organization • Biosphereall of the planet where life exists, includes land, water, and, air • Life extends 8 km up and 11 km below the surface END
