The weight of the living tissues of an organism. Living factors that can impact the environment. A mature assembly, a final stage in succession, in which there is little further changes in species composition. The set of all populations found in a given place. An interaction in which the use of a mutually needed resource by one individual or group of individuals lowers the availability of the resource for another individual or group. The result of an antagonistic interaction in which one species is prevented from occupying a particular habitat of niche. A severe physical impact on a habitat that has density-independent effects on populations of interacting species.
