Intraspecific competition occurs when members of the same species vie for the same resources in an ecosystem (e.g. food or nutrients, light or space). For example, two trees growing close together will compete for light above ground, and water and nutrients in the soil. Therefore, getting less resources, they will usually perform less well than if they grew by themselves. Adaptations to such an environment include growing taller (especially in forests), or developing a larger root system

Inter-species competition (note:it is spelled wrong in the title), is basically what ALL or most of the members of a species compete against in a certain changing environment.

for example; It was found by scientists that as global temperature increased due to global warming, Polar Bears are becoming extinct.
