The functional attributes of the ecosystem keep the components running together. Ecosystem functions are natural processes or exchange of energy that take place in various plant and animal communities of different biomes of the world.
For instance, green leaves prepare food and roots absorb nutrients from the soil, herbivores feed on the leaves and the roots and in turn serve as food for the carnivores.
Decomposers execute the functions of breaking down complex organic materials into simple inorganic products, which are used by the producers.
Fundamentally, ecosystem functions are exchange of energy and nutrients in the food chain. These exchanges sustain plant and animal life on the planet as well as the decomposition of organic matter and the production of biomass.
All these functions of the ecosystem take place through delicately balanced and controlled processes.

Ecosystem function' is the technical term used in the Framework to define the biological, geochemical and physical processes and components that take place or occur within an ecosystem. Or more simply put, ecosystem functions relate to the structural components of an ecosystem (e.g. vegetation, water, soil, atmosphere and biota) and how they interact with each other, within ecosystems and across ecosystems. Sometimes, ecosystem functions are called ecological processes.
Maintaining ecosystem function is important to maintaining the capacity of the region to supply ecosystem servcies. In the Framework, ecosystem functions are recognised as important for maintaining ecosystems and biodiversity (the diversity of genes, species and ecosystems) for their own sake. As well, they may provide contributions to goods and services (ecosystem services) that people value. People value ecosystem services in terms of the benefits they provide to their life. For example, the ecosystem function 'pollination' is critical to the reproduction of most wild plants. As well, this ecosystem function provides direct contributions to our agricultural sector by pollinating food crops. Our ability to grow food crops, are of value to people because they physically sustain us (contribute to nutrition) and allow us to choose our own lifestyle (social and economic freedom).
