Define - Ecosystem
- Environment
Answers
Answer:
An ecosystem is defined as a community of lifeforms in concurrence with non-living components, interacting with each other.
An ecosystem can be as small as an oasis in a desert, or as big as an ocean, spanning thousands of miles.
Environment can be defined as a sum total of all the living and non-living elements and their effects that influence human life. While all living or biotic elements are animals, plants, forests, fisheries, and birds, non-living or abiotic elements include water, land, sunlight, rocks, and air.
Explanation:
Answer:
An ecosystem (or ecological system) consists of all the organisms and the abiotic pools ( or physical environment) with which they interact. the biotic and abiotic components are linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows. ''Ecosystem processes'' are the transfers of energy and materials from one pool to another. Ecosystem processes are known to "take place at a wide range of scales". therefore the correct scale of study depends on the question asked.
