The size and type of organisms that can afford to live in the environment is guided by all the following types of systems as compared to the solar energy available at the outer surface of the earth thus energy when reaching on the earth's surface is converted and then it reaches to the organisms.
Hence the amount of entropy and size of the plants is directly related to the development and growth of types of organisms on earth. As various relationships exist within the ecosystem and are there are competition and there a link within the predation, mutualism, and parasitism.
Thus the type of environment where the organism develops and sustains will be defined by its physical and chemical habitats.
