Ecosystem: Structure, function, productivity, energy flow

Biotic and Abiotic

Abiotic components, also known as abiotic factors in biology and ecology, are non-living chemical and physical components of the environment that have an impact on the survival of live species and the functioning of ecosystems. Abiotic factors and the phenomena linked with them serve as the foundation for all of biology. They have an impact […]

Biosphere Structure

The term ‘biosphere’ was proposed by geologist Eduard Suess in 1875, which he explained as the place on Earth where the existence of life takes place. The idea of biosphere structure came along with the existence of animals, plants, microorganisms, humans, i.e., all living creatures. The biosphere structure has existed for around 3.5 billion years.

The biosphere is a limited zone on the earth’s surface where water, soil, and air come together to support life. Only in biospherecan life exist. There are many diverse sorts of life, ranging from fungus and bacteria to huge animals. The biosphere is defined as an area which comprises all living species as well as

Afforestation and Deforestation

Plants are the most important things in our ecology. It plays an important role in maintenance of balance within the ecosystem. They provide oxygen in the earth’s environment and utilise carbon dioxide from the environment. After the industrial revolution, deforestation can be observed worldwide. All these are impacting the environment negatively resulting in global warming,
