An ecosystem is a geographic area where living and nonliving parts work together to form a bubble of life. The concept of an ecosystem can be applied at many different scales, from multicellular organisms to the entire planet. An ecosystem is a structural and functional unit of ecology where living organisms interact with each other and their environment. Ecosystems contain biotic or living parts, as well as abiotic factors, or nonliving parts. Biotic factors include plants, animals, and other organisms. The concept of ecosystem is typically used in discussing the internal... Show more An ecosystem is a geographic area where living and nonliving parts work together to form a bubble of life.

An ecosystem is a structural and functional unit of ecology where living organisms interact with each other and their environment. Ecosystems contain biotic or living parts, as well as abiotic factors, or nonliving parts. Biotic factors include plants, animals, and other organisms. The concept of ecosystem is typically used in discussing the internal dependencies of the larger system, especially as they pertain to a particular part. Ecosystems are parts of biomes, which are climatic systems of life and organisms. The four ecosystem types are classifications known as artificial, terrestrial, lentic, and lotic. Maintaining healthy and active ecosystems can: Purify our water and air Maintain the level of fertility of our soil Regulate the climate by adapting to certain changes Help in recycling the biodegradable nutrients and provide us with healthy food Show less
