About the lecture

In this first mini-lecture, we introduce ecosystems as covered in topics 9.1 and 9.2. We breakdown the constituent parts of ecosystems and define some key phrases such as community, population and habitat. We discuss what biotic and abiotic factors are and how they may impact ecosystems. Then we finish up by taking a look into the relationships some organisms have with each other in an ecosystem, such as competition or predation.
