1. A common species that has plenty of biomass, yet has a fairly low impact on the community's organisation.
2. A rare species that has minimal impact on the biomass and on other species in the community.
3. A dominant species that constitutes a large proportion of the biomass and which affects many other species.
4. A species that makes up only a small proportion of the total biomass of a community yet has a huge impact on the community's organisation and survival.
