What are the parts of the ecosystem
An ecosystem consists of all the living and non-living things in an area and their interactions. It includes biotic factors like plants, animals and other organisms, as well as abiotic factors such as soil, water and weather. Individuals make up populations of the same species, and all the populations that live in a given area together form the biological community. Ecosystems can range in size from small areas under rocks to large regions like forests.
Honors -Ecology introduction 1011
Ecology is the scientific study of the interactions between organisms and their environment. These interactions determine the distribution and abundance of organisms. Ecology examines factors at multiple levels, from individual organisms to populations, communities, ecosystems, landscapes, and the global biosphere. Abiotic factors like temperature, water, sunlight, and climate as well as biotic factors such as competition and predation influence where species are able to live and thrive.
Major ecosystem
Types, structure, characteristics and components of of major ecosystem, Classification of ecosystem, Forest ecosystem, Grass ecosystem, Dessert ecosystem, Salt water ecosystem
Ecosystem
An ecosystem is the structural and functional unit of ecology where living organisms interact with each other and their environment. The biosphere is a narrow sphere extending 8 km above and 10 km below the Earth's surface, where land, water, soil, and life interact. An ecosystem contains biotic components like producers, consumers, and decomposers as well as abiotic components including organic substances, inorganic substances, and climate factors. Ecosystems can be terrestrial like forests, grasslands, tundra, and deserts, or aquatic including freshwater and marine ecosystems. Artificial ecosystems created by humans include croplands, aquariums, parks, and zoos.
Elements of an ecosystem
The document discusses the elements of ecosystems in three types of forests: Mediterranean forests, Atlantic forests, and forests of the Canary Islands. It examines the biotope, biocenosis, and interactions for each forest ecosystem. It also provides information on the ecosphere and biosphere, defining the ecosphere as the area around a star suitable for life and noting Earth and Mars comprise our solar system's ecosphere, and the biosphere as all living things on Earth inhabiting the troposphere, hydrosphere, and upper geosphere.
Ecosystem
An ecosystem is a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. It can be of any size but usually encompasses specific, limited spaces. There are three main types of ecosystems: freshwater, terrestrial, and ocean. Freshwater ecosystems include ponds and rivers. Terrestrial ecosystems include rainforests, tundra, deserts, taiga, forests, and grasslands. Ocean ecosystems include shallow waters, deep waters, warm waters, and cold waters. Ecosystems are complex networks of interactions between organisms and their environments.
Ecosystems, biotic and abiotic factors
This document introduces the concepts of ecology, ecosystems, biotic and abiotic factors. It defines ecology as the study of relationships between living and non-living things in environments. An ecosystem includes all biotic factors such as plants, animals and microbes as well as abiotic factors like air, water and soil. Biotic factors interact with each other and abiotic factors in complex ways. The document also discusses biomes as large regional communities defined by climate and plant life, and provides examples of biomes and ecosystems.

Ecologists use observation, experimentation, and modeling to study organisms, populations, communities, ecosystems, biomes, and the biosphere.
Ecology
Ecology is the scientific study of the interactions between living organisms and their environment. It incorporates fields like biology, chemistry, physics and geology to better understand these relationships. Ecological communities consist of biotic factors like plants, animals and microbes interacting with abiotic factors such as temperature, water, soil and sunlight. Organisms are dependent on environmental conditions and also impact one another through predation, competition, symbiosis and other relationships within ecosystems.
Symbiotic Relationship
This document discusses key concepts in biology and ecosystems, including defining terms like biotic and abiotic factors, classifying different types of symbiotic relationships (mutualism, commensalism, parasitism), and identifying different biomes found on Earth (deserts, forests, grasslands, tundra, aquatic). The purpose is to teach students about ecosystems and the relationships between living things, as well as human impacts and the importance of maintaining clean surroundings. Visual aids and activities are incorporated, such as identifying similarities and differences in concept drawings of "home" and viewing examples of symbiotic relationships.
The Biosphere and Humans
The document discusses the biosphere and biodiversity. The biosphere is composed of all living organisms found from below the ground to above it and in oceans. It includes biotic factors like plants and animals and abiotic factors like weather. Biotic and abiotic factors combine to create ecosystems. If any single factor in an ecosystem changes due to pollution or natural events, the whole system could be altered. Both human influences like farming and natural influences like volcanoes pose threats and can reduce biodiversity, with three species becoming extinct every hour.
EARTH SUBSYTEMS
The document describes Earth's major subsystems which include the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere. It provides details about each subsystem, such as the atmosphere containing the air and essential gases for life, the hydrosphere containing all of Earth's water, the lithosphere being the solid part of Earth, and the biosphere composed of all living things that interact to support life. It also defines key terms like environment, ecosystem, and ecology.
What factors influence ecosystems
Plants and animals depend on each other to survive in an ecosystem. They are biotic factors that interact through providing food and shelter. Animals also affect plants through behaviors like eating some plants, fertilizing soil, and burrowing. Abiotic factors like sunlight, water, soil conditions and climate also impact ecosystems by influencing what plants can grow and whether animals have resources to live. Ecosystems vary based on location and climate, with different communities in places like rainforests, deserts, deciduous forests, savannas, taigas and tundras.
Ecosystem
This document defines key terms related to ecosystems, including producers, consumers, decomposers, food webs, populations and communities. It explains that an ecosystem is made up of both biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) components that interact, including plants, animals, soil, air and water. Producers are organisms like plants that can produce their own food, while consumers eat other organisms and decomposers break down dead organic matter.
Abiotic or Biotic factors
Ecosystems consist of interacting biotic and abiotic factors. Organisms rely on abiotic factors like temperature, water, and soil composition as well as biotic factors such as food sources and other species. Competition occurs when multiple individuals or populations rely on limited resources within the same niche. A limiting factor is any biotic or abiotic resource that, if depleted, prevents an organism or population from growing.
The components of an ecosystem
The structural components of an ecosystem consist of nonliving arena and the living organisms.
They are terms as Abiotic compounds and Biotic compounds.

Ecosystem
An ecosystem is defined as a dynamic complex of plant, animal, and microorganism communities interacting with their non-living environment as a functional unit. Ecosystems can be classified using physiognomic-ecological systems that describe vegetation structures and cover, taking into account ecological factors like climate, elevation, and seasonality. Several classification systems are available for different ecosystem types, both terrestrial and aquatic. Ecosystems are not discrete units that can be simply delineated, as any classification involves observer input and normative rationale.

The Earth SystemEarth is the third planet from the sun in our so.docx
The Earth System
Earth is the third planet from the sun in our solar system. Earth orbits the sun in an elliptical (oval) path. Earth’s orbit is sometimes called the “Goldilocks zone.” Mercury and Venus travel too close to the sun to sustain life—they’re “too hot.” Planets beyond Earth travel too far from the sun—they’re “too cold.” But Earth is “just right.” (Note that there’s evidence that Mars—the Red Planet—once may have sustained microscopic life on its surface. However, conditions on the Red Planet no longer seem favorable.)
The term “Earth system” refers to the different processes and cycles that exist on the planet. All of these work together to sustain life. The four domains of the Earth system include the geosphere, the hydrosphere, the atmosphere, and the biosphere. Let’s quickly review each of these.
Layers of Earth
(NASA public domain image)
The geosphere refers to the solid portion of the planet. It includes the rocks and minerals that make up the continents as well as the ocean floor. It also includes structures within Earth, including the liquid mantle and the dense, solid, metallic core. Nonliving surface ground layers, such as desert sands and volcanic rock, are part of the geosphere.
The hydrosphere includes all the water on or near Earth’s surface. The oceans are the major component of the hydrosphere. They make up 97 percent of the Earth’s water. Glaciers and polar ice caps make up about 2 percent of the hydrosphere. Only about 1 percent of the hydrosphere is made up of the liquid freshwater found in ponds, streams, rivers, lakes, and underground water reservoirs (aquifers).
Aquifers are the main freshwater source in America’s “breadbasket” states of the Midwest and Great Plains. (“Breadbasket” states get their name from the volume of wheat, a primary ingredient in bread, grown there.) The hydrosphere extends several miles above the surface of the planet into the atmosphere, mainly in the form of water vapor.
Water vapor is water in its gaseous state. Precipitation is water released from the clouds. It may take the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail. It’s part of the water cycle.
For more information on the hydrosphere, follow this link: What is the HYDROSPHERE?
The atmosphere is the planet’s blanket. It allows living beings on the planet to breathe. It also protects us from the unfriendly features of the universe, such as meteors, cosmic radiation, and the effects of solar flares.
The atmosphere is made up of a variety of layers, as follows:
Earth’s Atmosphere
(NASA public domain image)
· The troposphere is the densest part of the atmosphere. It starts at Earth’s surface and extends upward from about 5 miles (in the higher or lower latitudes) to 9 miles (over the equatorial regions). Most of our weather takes place here.
· The stratosphere extends from the troposphere upward about 31 miles. The ozone layer, which protects the planet from solar ultraviolet radiation, is located in this region.
· The mesosph.
