Answer 1

every squirrel in the forest

all forests populations

plants, fungi and microbes in the forest

Step-by-step explanation:

In ecology, a community refers to a population of different species of organisms occupying a particular area at a particular time. In other words, community is a group of living organisms of different species interacting with one another in a given habitat.

According to the question, a forest community will contain all plants, animals and microbes in the forest involved in a series of interaction with one another. This includes every squirrel in the forest, all population of organisms in the forest and all plants, fungi and microbes in the forest.

N.B: If the abiotic components are included to the living ones, they will together make up an ECOSYSTEM.
