* Ecosystem: An ecosystem encompasses all the living organisms (biotic factors) in a specific area and their interactions with the non-living components (abiotic factors) of their environment. This includes things like:
* Species interactions: Predator-prey relationships, competition, symbiosis.
* Abiotic factors: Temperature, sunlight, water availability, soil composition.
