In a microscopic model of a freshwater biome, the broadest level of the ecological hierarchy that you will encounter is the **ecosystem**.
An ecosystem includes all the living organisms (communities) and their physical environment interacting as a system. In a microscopic model, you would be observing the various communities and populations within that environment, but the ecosystem encompasses the entire system.
