Levels of Organization
Levels of organization is a system that makes looking at ecology simpler by classifying the environment in different levels. The five levels of organization are: organism, population, community, ecosystem, and biome. An organism is an individual of a species. Organisms are the most basic level because it is the smallest ecological group yet; ex: a human, cat, or bear. A population is all the organisms of the same group or species who live in the same geographical area or location, and are capable of mating and reproducing with one another. Ex: a population of rabbits, deer, or humans. A community is an area in which two or
more populations of different species occupy. Ex: a forest because of the variety and diversity of species. An ecosystem is a community of living organisms along with their nonliving components that work and live together as a system. Ex: a marsh because interactions occur between organisms and environment including abiotic and biotic material.

A biome is a series of ecosystems that have relatively the same abiotic and biotic factors spread over a large area. Usually biomes are isolated from each other but have similar ecosystems. Ex: tundra biome, boreal forest biome. Each level in this hierarchy represents an increase in "organizational complexity",
with each being composed of the previous level's basic unit. Levels of organizations is the system in which we organize all living things into smaller and smaller groups for the sake of making it simpler to identify them based on certain characteristics and features.
