Landscape of different ecosystems.

Species is just a single specific type of organism, biome is the whole planet, and a community is a group of different organisms interacting in the same place and time. Ecosystems involve abiotic factors like water and sun-- a forest could house many like a pond, the whole forest, or even a tree itself. You can see all of these in the forest.
