Explanation:
A community is defined as a group of populations of two or more different species which inhabit the same area at a certain time.
Community ecology is the study of the interactions between species in communities through time on a certain place. It includes the study of the distribution, structure, demography, and interactions between populations.
In a data table, units of measurement should be indicated in the headings of the columns where the data values are listed. This shows that the indicated unit applies to all the data values listed in the column.
