Hub Pages: Biotic Factors of Ecosystem: Producers, Consumers and Decomposers

Curated by ACT

An ecosystem is composed of biotic factors of a community of living organisms interacting with one another which we can see in food chains/webs. These diverse organisms stay together because of the need of food. Population is referred to as a collection of the same species. This population plays a role in maintaining the equilibrium in the ecosystem.
