An ecosystem includes all living and non-living things in a particular area. It is composed of the biotope, which are the non-living components like soil and temperature, and the biocoenosis, which are the living things. Trophic relationships refer to how organisms obtain energy by eating other organisms in a food chain. Ecosystems can be classified by type and include cities, woodlands, coasts, prairies, and ponds. The biosphere is the largest biome and includes all Earth's ecosystems. Ecosystems change naturally through seasonal variations but human activities like pollution, overfishing, forest fires, and deforestation can also significantly impact ecosystems.
