Question

What is the used or benefits of artificial man-made ecosystem?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Diversity will be lesser compared to natural systems. Unfavourable and less favoured species are likely to taper off slowly.

2. Whereas the natural systems do not have definite goals and evolved by trial and error and their survival value, the artificial ecosystem is pragmatic with well defined goals. Artificial systems are more fragile and are more vulnerable to failure due to lack of diversity and strong self regulatory systems, characterizing the natural systems.

3. Artificial ecosystems are more productive from anthropocentric per­spectives. Land yield with improved cultivation techniques, cloning techniques, milk yield with recent animal husbandry practices etc., are examples of enhancing productivity of natural processes with human inter­vention. s

4. Artificial ecosystems with further improvements in design can enhance the sustenance capacity of population in a given space and enable the expansion of human habitat into oceans, outer space, extra terrestrial bodies and sub­terranean spaces.

5. Artificial ecosystems depend on natural cosmic laws. Man is only a discov­erer but not a maker of natural laws. Here artificial ecosystems are not contradictions and negations of natural systems. It is only the proportions and speeds of the ecological interactions that can be meddled with, for man’s advantage. Hence all the so-called artificial ecosystems are only semi-artifi­cial.
