Ecosystem: Structure, function, productivity, energy flow

Ecosystems are groups of living creatures and the physical environment in which they reside that collaborate to solve problems and communicate with one another and with the rest of the world. Environmentalists consider the entire globe to be a single ecosystem in which to live. Because the forest ecosystem is also a component of the […]

Weathering and erosion are processes that cause rocks to break down and migrate away from their original site. The distinction between weathering and erosion is dependent on whether or not the position of rock has changed: Weathering damages rocks without moving them, whereas erosion transports rocks and soil away from their original sites. Weathering frequently

There are numerous elements that contribute to or are influenced by our environment, which is the location where we humans, as well as other creatures, reside. These elements have combined to make the earth a safe haven for all of us. The two main elements, namely the abiotic factor and the biotic factor, work together

In the microbial world (and the non-microbial world, too!) competition is strong, and resources are limited. It can undoubtedly mean reduced competition for those microorganisms willing and able to adapt the tough environment. So, what factors influence microbial proliferation in the environment? The key ones include temperature, pH, oxygen, water activity, radiation, pressure, and nutrient deficiency. We’ll go over

The impact of water on public health has been studied throughout history. Farming and settlement expansion led to the emergence of the challenge that mankind now faces: how to get drinking water for humans and animals, as well as how to manage the trash we produce. The availability of huge amounts of water has been

Introduction The ecosystem is defined as a self-sustaining and self-regulatory structural and functional unit of the biosphere comprising of a community of living beings and a physical environment both interacting and exchanging materials among them. A.G Tansley firstly coined the term ecosystem in 1935.  Types of Ecosystem There are two types of ecosystem:  Terrestrial ecosystem:

Nature has long served humanity in almost every area. The vast amount of outcomes and services we extract from nature is valuable. These products and services that humans obtain from the environment are called nature services, better known as ecosystem services.  As these ecosystem services are usually not purchased or sold directly in the market,

An ecosystem is a geographical system that consists of living and non-living entities which coexist together in harmony. The biotic (or living) components include humans, animals, and plants. The abiotic (or nonliving) components include weather, sunlight, water, soil, etc. They do not exist independently of one another. Rather, they work in sync and interact with

Ecosystem Components:  An ecosystem has two components – Biotic Components Abiotic Components  1) Biotic Components: Living things are defined in biotic components. Biological components such as microorganisms, trees, plants, animals and humans. Biological components are classified on the basis of energy, need and source. This is the classification 1) Producer 2) Consumer  3) Decomposer 1)

What is an Ecosystem? An ecosystem can be described as the product of interactions between a particular area’s biotic and abiotic components. Each ecosystem is formed by multiple components and has unique importance. Hence, the ecosystem varies from region to region due to variations in components. However, the concept of ecosystem, its formation, importance, and
