A community in the social sciences, is the
sense of identity, purpose, and companionship
that comes from belonging to a particular
place, organization, or social group.
A community in ecology, is an assemblage of
plants, animals, and other organisms living
within a circumscribed area. Communities are
usually named by reference to a dominant
feature such as characteristic plant species
(e.g. beech-wood community), or a prominent
physical feature (for example, a freshwater
pond community).
