Detailed explanation-1: -In ecology, a community is a group or association of populations of two or more different species occupying the same geographical area at the same time, also known as a biocoenosis, biotic community, biological community, ecological community, or life assemblage.

Detailed explanation-2: -A community includes all the populations of the area. The community and the abiotic factors make up the ecosystem. An organism lives in its habitat within a community.

Detailed explanation-3: -A community is all of the populations of different species that live in the same area and interact with one another. A community is composed of all of the biotic factors of an area. An ecosystem includes the living organisms (all the populations) in an area and the non-living aspects of the environment (Figure below).

Detailed explanation-4: -An ecological community is defined as a group of species that are commonly found together. Ecological communities may be animal or plant assemblages with similar habitat requirements and contain species which may influence each other or rely on similar processes in their environment.

Detailed explanation-5: -Populations and communities are groups of organisms. A population is a group of the same species living in the same area. A community is a group of different species living in the same area.
