A biological community in its environment such as a pond, an ocean, a forest, even an aquarium is known as an ecosystem.

An ecosystem is defined as a community of living organisms (biotic components) interacting with the nonliving components (abiotic components) of their environment. The examples given (pond, ocean, forest, aquarium) all represent systems where plants, animals, and other organisms live and interact with physical and chemical factors like water, soil, air, and sunlight.

A community refers specifically to the interacting group of different species in a particular area. A biome is a large geographical region characterized by specific climate and ecological features. The abiotic environment refers only to the non-living parts. The definition provided in the question accurately describes an ecosystem, encompassing both the biotic community and its abiotic environment.
