Summary Introduction
To determine:
The ways by which an individual interacts with the surrounding. The categorization of each componenet of interaction as population, community, and ecosystem.
Introduction:
The ecosystem is a collection of the biotic and abiotic components that are present in the physical environment. Communities are the group of organisms from a specific species that inhabit a particular area and thrive as a separate unit. A population is a combination of different communities.

The carrying capacity of an ecosystem is the maximum number of organisms that an area can support over time. The density of a population may cause huge changes in the environment so that the environment becomes unstable for the survival of that species. Humans can mess up natural selection and have either a positive or negative effect. OBJECTIVES Graph data on the Kaibab deer population of Arizona from 1905-1939. Analyze the factors that caused the changes in the deer population. PROCEDURE: Before 1905, there was an estimated 4000 deer on almost 30,000 hectacres of land on the Kaibab Plateau in Arizona. The average carrying capacity of the land at that time was estimated to be about 30,000 deer. Being concerned about the low number of deer, President Theodore Roosevelt created the Grand Canyon National Game Preserve to…arrow_forwardA biological community consists of all: Living things on Earth Members of a species living in the same biome Populations of a given species Populations living and interacting in an area Members of a species living in the same areaarrow_forward
