Answer:

An ecosystem is a community of living organisms (biotic factors) and nonliving (abiotic) factors that interact with one another.

Step-by-step explanation:

An ecosystem includes all of the living things (biotic factors) in a given area, interacting with each other and also with their non-living (abiotic) environment.

Ecosystems are larger than a habitat, or a community or a forest type.
