Answer:

Environment means anything that surround us. It can be living (biotic) or non-living (abiotic) things. It includes physical, chemical and other natural forces. Living things live in their environment. They constantly interact with it and adapt themselves to conditions in their environment. In the environment there are different interactions between animals, plants, soil, water, and other living and non-living things.

Since everything is part of the environment of something else, the word environment is used to talk about many things. People in different fields of knowledge use the word environment differently. Electromagnetic environment is radio waves and other electromagnetic radiation and magnetic fields. The environment of galaxy refers to conditions of interstellar medium.

In psychology and medicine, a person's environment is the people, physical things and places that the person lives with. The environment affects the growth and development of the person. It affects the person's behavior, body, mind and heart.

The living conditions of living organisms in an environment are affected by the weather or climate changes in the environment.

Explanation:

The term an ecosystem is originally defined by Tansley (1935). An ecosystem is defined as the network of interactions among organisms, and between organisms and their environment they can come in any size but usually encompass specific, limited spaces although according to some scientists the entire planet is an ecosystem or an ecosystem is defined as a complex, dynamic community of organisms including plants, animals and micro-organisms that all interact among themselves as well as with the environment that they live in.

An ecosystem consists of the biological community that occurs in some locale, and the physical and chemical factors that make up its non-living or abiotic environment. All living organisms are a part of both a biotic community and an ecosystem.

Ecosystems are what sustain both humans and animals, providing them with energy, nutrients, oxygen, water and shelter, among other things. Ecosystems don’t have strict boundaries or sizes; they can range from something as small as a dead tree stump to something as large as the ocean.
