Communities Notes:

A large array of individuals that inhabit a place. They have certain characteristics in common for example habitat, diet, norms, values etc. The populations present in an area interact with each other and form a community. An example of this would be populations of animals coexisting and interacting with each other in a certain place. For example, a forest of trees and undergrowth plants, inhabited by animals and rooted in soil containing bacteria and fungi, constitutes a biological community.
