Study Notes
Ecosystem Types
- Ecosystems are classified into various types based on their location and characteristics.
- Natural Ecosystems: These ecosystems are naturally occurring, including forests, grasslands, deserts, and aquatic environments such as rivers, lakes, and oceans.
- Artificial Ecosystems: These ecosystems are created or modified by humans, such as crop fields, aquariums, and zoos.
Types of Ecosystems
- Terrestrial Ecosystems: These ecosystems are based on land. Examples include:
- Forest
- Grassland
- Desert
- Mountain
- Aquatic Ecosystems: These ecosystems are based on water. Examples include:
- Pond
- River
- Lake
- Ocean
- Freshwater Ecosystems: These ecosystems contain freshwater and include ponds, rivers, lakes.
- Marine Ecosystems: These ecosystems are saltwater based. Example oceans.
Components of Ecosystems
- Biotic Components: These are the living components of an ecosystem, including:
- Plants
- Animals
- Fungi
- Bacteria
- Abiotic Components: These are the non-living components of an ecosystem, including:
- Air
- Water
- Soil
- Temperature
- Rainfall
