Hello,


An ecosystem is a community of living organisms, including plants, animals, and microorganisms, interacting with each other and their physical environment. It is a web of interconnectedness in nature.


There are two main importance of ecosystems:


1) Biodiversity: Ecosystems support a wide variety of species, from plants to animals, creating a diverse and balanced environment which js crucial for the stability of ecosystems.


2) Water Regulation: Ecosystems play a crucial role in regulating water flow, reducing the risk of floods and droughts.


I hope this helps,


Thank you

Hello Aspirant,

There are two parts to every ecosystem: biotic and abiotic components. All living things in an ecology are referred to as biotic components, whereas non-living things are referred to as abiotically. The equilibrium of the environment is preserved by these biotic and abiotic interactions.

  • The functional unit of an ecosystem is where biotic, or living, organisms interact with abiotic, or nonliving, elements in that area. This is known as the ecosystem.
  • An ecosystem consists of two parts: biotic (living) and abiotic (nonliving).
  • In an ecosystem, these two elements are always interacting with one another.

ALL THE BEST
