A population is the group of organisms of one species that currently share a gene pool. A species can exist in several discrete populations that CAN reproduce, if they should meet, while a population is the group that DOES reproduce because they live in a shared range.
A community is made up of the several populations of different species living in a shared geographical area. A forest community can include populations of robins, squirrels and ferrets.
An ecosystem is both the communities and their abiotic factors in their common geographical range. A forest community includes only the living things while the forest ecology includes the non-living like the climate, fire and bedrock.
