Complexity in an ecological community refers to the number of species present, the diversity of interactions among species, and the spatial and temporal dynamics of these interactions. A more complex community typically has a higher number of species, a greater network of interactions, and more intricate patterns of species coexistence and competition. Complexity can influence community stability, resilience, and biodiversity.
The series of predictable changes that occurs in a community over time is called ecological succession. This process involves the gradual replacement of one community by another, typically leading to increased complexity and stability within the ecosystem.

The sequence that demonstrates increasing complexity of levels of ecological communities is: individual → population → community → ecosystem → biome → biosphere. At the individual level, we have single organisms; populations consist of groups of individuals of the same species; communities are made up of multiple populations interacting; ecosystems include both living organisms and their physical environment; biomes are large areas characterized by specific climate and ecosystems; and the biosphere encompasses all living organisms on Earth and their interactions with the environment. Each level builds upon the previous one, adding layers of interaction and complexity.

An ecological community together with its environment, functioning as a unit.
There are at least six different types of complexity in an Ecological community. These types are spacial, structural, temporal, behavioral, geometric and process. Ecologist use these patterns to identify self organizing and emergent phenomena.

The sequence that represents the correct order of increasing complexity in living systems is molecules, cell, tissue, and organs. The classification of organisms reflect similarities and evolutionary history.

A major ecological community is consumers. These are organism that gain energy needed for their survival by eating plants and animals that are either alive or dead.
