A group of plants or animals living in a defined area under relatively similar conditions. An association or assemblage of plant and animal populations that live in a particular area or habitat, often dominated by one or more prominent species or by a characteristic physical attribute. The time and distance each organism moves before it is captured and eaten are largely what determines the area defined by the community and the time for which its dynamic equilibrium thrives. Often characterised by: (1) Growth form and structure; (2) Diversity (number of species); (3) Relative abundance; (4) Dominance and subdominance of species; (5) Feeding hierarchy - what eats what. On land, usually soil has a greater effect on vegetation than climate; of climatic factors, temperature and moisture are most important.

Community can be a troubling term. Often when people on campus talk about community, they are referring to the organizations that the college or university partners with. However, the community is often not fully represented by the organizations that claim to serve it. Community can be used in a number of ways to apply to almost any group of individuals. In the most general sense it describes a geographic group whose members engage in some face-to-face interaction. Such communities exist all around us in our neighborhoods, our schools, our workplaces, our campuses, etc.

Helpful?           0
A natural aggregate of different species of organisms existing in the same environment. While species within the community interact with each other, forming food chains and other ecological systems, they do not generally interact with species in other communities. For the purposes of NVIS, a community is described as an assemblage of plant species which are structurally and floristically similar and form a repeating 'unit' across the landscape. See also vegetation type below. Meagher, 1991 NVIS
