= Community (ecology)
{wiki=Community_(ecology)}
In ecology, a community refers to an assemblage of different species living together in a particular habitat or ecosystem. These species can include plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms that interact with one another in various ways, including competition, predation, mutualism, and commensalism. Communities are characterized by their species diversity (the variety of species present), species composition (the identity and abundance of each species), and the interactions among the species.
