The study would be considering the ecosystem level of organization. Ecosystems are communities of living organisms and their interactions with their physical environment. This includes both biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) factors, such as temperature, water quality, and minerals. In this case, the study is examining how these abiotic factors are affecting the animals in the salt marsh ecosystem.
