The asymptotic regime of a complex ecosystem with N random interacting species and in the presence of an external multiplicative noise is analyzed. We find the role of the external noise on the long time probability distribution of the ith density species, the extinction of species and the local field acting on the ith population. We analyze in detail the transient dynamics of this field and the cavity field, which is the field acting on the ith species when this is absent. We find that the presence or the absence of some population give different asymptotic distributions of these fields.
