Community of plants and animals and their environment (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ecosystem

(Other definitions for ecosystem that I've seen before include "integrated community" , "Biological community with its environment" , "orderly collection of organisms" , "Community of organisms and their environment" , "The interaction of a group of organisms with their physical environment" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
