explain about ecology and ecosystem.briefly
Answers
Explanation:
Ecosystem ecology is the integrated study of living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) components of ecosystems and their interactions within an ecosystem framework. This science examines how ecosystems work and relates this to their components such as chemicals, bedrock, soil, plants, and animals.

Ecosystem ecology examines physical and biological structures and examines how these ecosystem characteristics interact with each other. Ultimately, this helps us understand how to maintain high quality water and economically viable commodity production. A major focus of ecosystem ecology is on functional processes, ecological mechanisms that maintain the structure and services produced by ecosystems. These include primary productivity (production of biomass), decomposition, and trophic interactions.
Studies of ecosystem function have greatly improved human understanding of sustainable production of forage, fiber, fuel, and provision of water. Functional processes are mediated by regional-to-local level climate, disturbance, and management. Thus ecosystem ecology provides a powerful framework for identifying ecological mechanisms that interact with global environmental problems, especially global warming and degradation of surface water.
Ecology:-
Ecology is a branch of biology concerning interactions between organisms and their biophysical environment,which includes both biotic and abiotic components.Topic of interest including biodiversitu,distribution,biomass and population of organisms as well as cooperation amd competition within and between species.Ecosystem are dynamically interacting system of organisms.
Ecosystem processes such as primary production,pedogenesis,nutrient cycle and niche construction regulate the flux of energy and matter through an evironement.
How biodiversity effect ecological functions:-
- Life processes interactions and adaptations
- The movement of material and energy through living communities
- The successional development of ecosystem
Ecosystem:-
The Ecosystem is a community of living organisms in conjuction with the nonliving components of their environment intetacting as a cycle.These biotic and abiotic components linked together through nutrients cycle amd energy flows.Energy enters the system through photosynthesis.
Ecosystem is similar environment that are located in different parts of the world and are in the process of recovering from some past disturbance.
