Write two natural ecosystem with examples
Answers
An ecosystem encompasses* living organisms and the nonliving elements of their environments. An ecosystem can be huge, cutting across several nations, or it can be relatively small, such as the body of an animal, which is home to numerous microorganisms.
A grassland ecosystem is characterised by mixed vegetation and is dominated by grass or grass-like plants. The ecosystem is normally found in areas that are too dry for forests but have enough soil water to support closed herbaceous plant canopy, which cannot be found in deserts.
Example: Pacific grasslands of North America
Taigas are a kind of forest ecosystem found in the far northern regions of the world. Also known as boreal forests, these ecosystems comprise mainly evergreen, coniferous* trees, such as spruce and pine. These conical or spire-shaped needle trees are adapted to the cold and the physiological drought of winter as well as to the short growing season.
Example: The Great Basin of North America
encompasses* : surround and have or hold within.
coniferous* : evergreen trees and shrubs having usually needle-shaped or scalelike leaves
