The United States Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is a large portion of Alaska that is protected from construction, which would affect the land and resources that are available to living things. Which term is used to describe all the species that live in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge?

A community is all the populations of different species living in the same area. Since the question asks about all the species in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the correct choice is community. An ecosystem includes the living things as well as nonliving parts of the environment, while a population is just one species.
