Populations that interact within a given habitat form a community. The number of species occupying the same habitat and their relative abundance is known as the diversity of the community. Areas with low species diversity, such as the glaciers of Antarctica, still contain a wide variety of living organisms, whereas the diversity of tropical rainforests is so great that it cannot be accurately assessed.

They may be intraspecific (within a species) or interspecific (between species). Antagonisms are interactions in which one or both organisms are harmed. In facilitation, at least one species benefits, and neither is harmed.

A core goal of ecology is to understand the distribution and abundance of organisms in the environment. This requires integrating many scientific disciplines, such as biochemistry, physiology, evolution, biodiversity, molecular biology, geology, and climatology. Some ecological research also applies aspects of chemistry and physics, and it and it frequently uses mathematical models.

One core goal of ecology is to understand the distribution and abundance of living things in the physical environment. Attainment of this goal requires the integration of scientific disciplines inside and outside of biology, such as biochemistry, physiology, evolution, biodiversity, molecular biology, geology, and climatology. It frequently uses mathematical models.

The primary focus of community ecology is on the interactions between populations as determined by specific genotypic and phenotypic characteristics.

This science examines how ecosystems work and relates this to their components such as chemicals, bedrock, soil, plants, and animals.
