Question

Describe a biotic community of your nearby place stating the relationships that exist between the common species comprising it.

Answer 1

Hint: A actively interacting collection of a variety of populations of many species in the same environment is known as the biotic community. The members of the group of biotic communities are divided into three categories: producers, consumers, and decomposers.

Complete answer: In an ecosystem where living organisms comprises there are complex interactions and relationship, which can be beneficial or detrimental as two organisms are involved in the interaction where only is benefited and for other its detrimental or it can be neutral where both the involved species are not affected.
1. The most common interaction is predation where one organism is dependent on another organism for nutrition, this can be seen in our laws or gardens as birds, reptiles feed on insects.
2. The second interaction is a competition where two species compete for similar resources where both the involved species are detrimental.
3. The interaction is parasitism where one organism resides in another organism for nutrition and shelter which can be seen in mammals as flees on dogs, cats, and rodents.
4. The fourth interaction is mutualism where both the organisms are benefitted and are closely associated which can be seen in a microorganism or leguminous plant.
The other type of interaction is commensalism where one is not affected while the other organism is benefitted, in amensalism where one is not affected and another organism is detrimental.

Note: In a location or territory different species exist in close association and show interdependence. A self-perpetuating, mature biotic community involves only those which are successfully adapted to the environment and to other species in that specific zone.
