Eucology

• Interdependence is when species in a community rely on each other for food and shelter.
• An ecosystem is the interaction between biotic and abiotic factors in a community.
• A stable community is when the sizes of the populations within it are relative over time.
• Abiotic factors include soil PH level, light intensity, temperature and moisture levels.
• Biotic factors include the availability of food, predators, competition and pathogens.
• Peat bog destruction releases stored carbon into the atmosphere.
• Peat is used to burn for fuel and releases CO2 into the atmosphere.
