19. BIOCOENOSIS (COMMUNITY).

SPATIAL (MORPHOLOGICAL) STRUCTURE

1. Biocoenosis (community) – an association of organisms of populations of different species inhabiting a
particular territory and forming a closely integrated community
biocoenosis [ˌbʌɪəʊsɪˈnəʊsɪs] биоценоза
2.1. Phytocoenosis/producers –
2. Composition
plants
2.2. Zoocoenosis/consumer –
animals
2.3. Mycocenosis/reducers or
decomposers – fungi
2.4. Microbial coenosis –
microorganisms

phytocoenosis [ˌfaɪtəʊsɪˈnəʊsɪs]
фитоценоза
zoocoenosis [ˌzəʊəsɪˈnəʊsɪs]
зооценоза
mycocoenosis [ˌmʌɪkəʊsɪˈnəʊsɪs]
микоценоза
3. Spatial (morphological) structure spatial [ˈspeɪʃəl] пространствен

3.1. Vertical structure – layering (tiers) tier [tɪə] етаж, ниво

canopy-
покривало,балдахи
н

Understory-

Shrub-храст
3.2. Horizontal structure – consociation (an ecological community with a single dominant
species-determinant, and all other species that find suitable living conditions -consocies)
consociation [kənˌsəʊsɪˈeɪʃən] консорция
Determinant [di'tə:minət] детерминат
Consocies [kənˌsəʊsɪs] консорти
3.2.1. Individual consociation (индивидуална консорция)
3.2.2. Population consociation (популационна консорция)
3.2.3. Plant association (синузиални консорти) - the set of consociation whose
determinant is of the same plant form (trees, shrubs, grasses)
