❄ IMPORTANCE OF ECOSYSTEM ❄
The word "ecosystem" is short for ecological system and consists of many different organisms such as plants, animals, soil, water and microorganisms living together and relying on each other for existence. The Earth is made up of millions of individual ecosystems and from small ecosystems.
All of the Earth's plants and animals rely on ecosystems to provide food and habitat. Ecosystems must maintain a delicate balance in order to stay vital. For example, a deer living in the meadow ecosystem needs water to drink, vegetation to eat and shrubs and bracken to sleep and hide in. If the deer population increases too much for their current ecosystem to provide these things, the extra deer will have to search for food and shelter elsewhere, encroaching on the habitats and ecosystems of other species.

Why Are Ecosystems So Important?
Ecosystems are communities of organisms and non-living matter that interact together. Each part of the ecosystem is important because ecosystems are interdependent. Damaged or imbalanced ecosystems can cause many problems

Components
Ecosystems are made up of soil, sunlight and heat, water, and living organisms which include plants, animals, and decomposers.
Interactions
Living organisms within an ecosystem interact in many ways including predation, cooperation, competition and symbiosis. Each species has a niche, or special role, such as eating small insects, decomposing matter or converting sunlight to energy through photosynthesis.
Size
Ecosystems vary widely in size--they can be a puddle, a lake or a desert. Terrariums are artificial ecosystems.
Biomes
Biomes are composed of several ecosystems that are similar to each other. Tropical rainforests, deserts, tundra and grasslands are all biomes.
Ecosystem Disturbances
A small change in an ecosystem, such as the elimination or introduction of one species, can cause changes throughout the entire ecosystem. Environmental changes or human interference can cause these disturbances.
Pollution
Pollution, including land pollution, water pollution and air pollution, poses a serious threat to ecosystems. Pollution can threaten or kill organisms that are central to ecosystems, causing the ecosystem to become imbalanced.
There you have it – the wonderful world of ecosystems.
