Summary Introduction
Introduction: A system formed with the help of interactions between organisms and their physical environment is known as the ecosystem. Ecology studies individual organisms as well as populations, communities, and ecosystems. When two organisms interact with each other it is known as biotic interactions whereas when an organism interacts with its nonliving surroundings it is known as abiotic interactions.
