Abstract
Community ecology is a discipline that deals with the interrelationships between assemblages of plant and animal populations that live together at a particular time and in a particular place. A large body of information and theory has developed around this branch of ecology which would be sufficient for a book in its own right. Therefore, it is not the purpose of this chapter to present an exhaustive treatment of community ecology, but rather to form a link between our concepts of population dynamics and those of community ecology.
