They can live in the same ecosystem because it is required for them to live together. If they didn't all exist in that ecosystem, then it wouldn't work. For example, if there aren't any carnivores in an ecosystem, then all the herbivores will just keep gaining a bigger population, and the bigger population will eat all the plants and starve the herbivores as a whole, but if there aren't enough herbivores, the carnivores will eat all of what there is then they will starve.

What are living things on an ecosystem?

Within each ecosystem, there are habitats which may also vary in size. A habitat is the place where a populationlives. A population is a group of living organisms of the same kind living in the same place at the same time. All of the populations interact and form a community. The community of living things interacts with the non-living world around it to form the ecosystem. The habitat must supply the needs of organisms, such as food, water, temperature, oxygen, and minerals. If the population's needs are not met, it will move to a better habitat. Two different populations can not occupy the same niche at the same time, however. So the processes of competition, predation, cooperation, and symbiosis occur.

Yes, living things (biotic components) and nonliving things (abiotic components) together make up an ecosystem. Biotic components like plants, animals, and microorganisms interact with abiotic components like sunlight, water, temperature, and soil to create a balanced and interconnected system.


What is meant by the phrase a community of living things?

A community is made up of one or more species from various populations. Species of different populations develop dependencies such as food webs in a community. A community is simply a variation of species in one ecosystem... Lions and polar bares do not belong to the same community because they live in different ecosystems with different resources. With this, the phrase a community of living things simply means the variation of species in the same ecosystem competing for and sharing the same resources such as food and light. I hope this helps.
