What is a trophic level in an ecosystem? What is ‘Standing crop’ with reference to it?
Tropic level: Organisms occupy a place in the natural surroundings or in a community according to their feeding relationship with other organisms. Based on the source of their nutrition or food, organisms occupy a specific place in the food chain and this is known as a trophic level.
Each trophic level has a certain mass of living material at a particular time and this is called as Standing crop. It is measured as the mass of living organisms (biomass) or the number in a unit area.
Biotic factors are :
chemical factors of soil which affect life
physical factors of soil which affect life
all living organisms which influence other organisms
factors of atmosphere which affect life
