Answer: It can understood the ethos of an aquatic ecosystem by a small ponds example.
This is fairly a self sustainable unit and rather simple example that explain even the complex interactions that exist in an aquatic ecosystem.
A pond is a shallow water body in which all the above mentioned four basic components of an ecosystems are well exhibited.
The abiotic component is the water with all the dissolved inorganic and organic substances and the rich soil deposit at the bottom of the pond.
The solar input, the cycle of temperature, day, length and other climatic conditions regulate the rate of function of the entire pond.
The autotrophic components include the phytoplankton, same algae and the floating, submerged and marginal plants found at the edges.
The consumers are represented by the zooplankton, the free swimming and bottom dwelling forms.
The decomposes are the fungi, bacteria and flagellates especially abundant in the bottom of the pond.
There is unidirectional movement of energy towards the higher trophic levels and its dissipation and loss as heat to the environment.
