PAKISTAN
 large community of living organisms in
a particular area
 a community of organisms with
nonliving components, interacting as a
system
DEFINITION
LIVING (BIOTIC)
NON-LIVING/PHYSICAL
(ABIOTIC)
COMPONENTS
BIOTIC COMPONENTS
 Ecosystems are of any size, but
usually they are in particular places
SIZE
 exchange of energy and nutrients in the
food chain.
 These exchanges sustain plant and animal
life on the planet
 the decomposition of organic matter and
 the production of biomass……
BIODIVERSITY
FUNCTIONS/IMPORTANCE
 AQUATIC
 Marine
 Fresh water
 TERRESTRIAL
 All ecosystems on land
TYPES OF ECOSYSTEMS
 temperate forest,
 tropical rain forests,
 deserts,
 grasslands,
 the taiga (boreal),
 the tundra,
 the chaparral
ENVIRONMENTAL ECOSYSTEMS
 The enormous Amazon river, contains
20 percent of the world's flowing fresh
water.
 Though the Amazon covers only four
percent of the earth's surface, it
contains a third of all known terrestrial
plant, animal, and insect species
WORLD'S MOST IMPORTANT
ECOSYSTEM
The World Ocean is
the largest existing ecosystem o
n our planet.
Covering over 71% of the Earth's
surface, it's a source of livelihood
for over 3 billion people.
LARGEST ECOSYSTEM
 Microbiomes are
 communities of bacteria, fungi, protozoa,
algae, other one-celled microbes, and
viruses
 these interact with one another in complex
ways.
 These ecosystems are enormously
complex.
SMALLEST ECOSYSTEM
 Ecosystems are dynamic entities.
 subject to periodic disturbances
 in the process of recovering from some past
disturbance.
 The tendency of an ecosystem to remain
close to its equilibrium state, despite that
disturbance, is termed its resistance.
