Describe the activity to study the structure of ecosystem
Answers
Answer:
An ecosystem is a community of living organisms in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment, interacting as a system.[2] These biotic and abiotic components are linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows.[3] Energy enters the system through photosynthesis and is incorporated into plant tissue. By feeding on plants and on one-another, animals play an important role in the movement of matter and energy through the system. They also influence the quantity of plant and microbial biomass present. By breaking down dead organic matter, decomposers release carbon back to the atmosphere and facilitate nutrient cycling by converting nutrients stored in dead biomass back to a form that can be readily used by plants and other microbes.[4]
Explanation:
Answer:
Aim:Study an ecosystem at your School/ home garden to understand its structure. for this you will require the following material.
Material required: Measuring tape string, small sticks,hand lens,hand towel.
Procedure :To know about the structure of the ecosystem you have to follow the following procedure
1.Use a tape to measure a square area that is one meter long and one meter wide.Ot can be on grass,bare dirt or sidewalk
2.Mark the edges of the square with the help of string/chalk .
3. Observer the study area (that has been marked).Look for plants and animals that live there.Use the hand lens.
4.Record all the living organisms you see.You can even dig to go deeper to find out other living organisms that may be present there.
