The Ecosystem

avatar

What is an Ecosystem? The Ecosystem consist of in the world. What do I mean by this? The Ecosystem consist of biotics components of the world which is the living part of the world that is living things and it's corresponding abiotic components which means none living part of world an serve as the Environment. The world as we see it is an Ecosystem, it comprises of numerous details like living things as well as none living things like soil, sunlight and so on.
The Ecosystem is a dynamic entity that means it could change from one place or location to another for instance we can have an aquatic ecosystem where the biotics components are the spices in the water while the abiotic is the water as well as terrestrial ecosystem where we can have trees and plant has the biotics components and soil and rocks as the corresponding abiotic components. So therefore, ecosystem changes from place to place and time to time.

         Components of the Ecosystem 

They are basically two components of the Ecosystem which exists in every place be it a small or wide ecosystem, tough or gentle ecosystem and so on. They are namely biotics (living) and abiotic(non living).

Starting with the Abiotic components it is the part of the Ecosystem that serve as the Environment of the Ecosystem. It consist of production of energy, shelter means of living. It involves the beginning and thw ending of life for instance soil, soil is were the plant begins it life and after the plant dies it goes back to the soil as nutrients. Examples of Abiotic components includes soil, atmospheric Condition ( weather and climate) atmospheric air, radiation of sun and water.

To the second part which is the biotics components it is the living aspect of the Ecosystem in it group in to three which are the producers majorly green plants, consumers majorly living organism that feeds directly or indirectly on plant and the decomposers majorly bacteria.
Producers: As the name implies they are majorly green plant(autotrophs) which are capable of producing food on their own but through the aid of Abiotic components like sunlight and water. The autotrophs are majorly green plant which produces the food and then may be directly or indirectly eating by the consumer.
Consumer: consumer are animals which feeds directly or indirectly on the green plant, the feeding pattern makes them be divided into primary consumer and secondary consumer.
The primary consumer feeds directly on the green plant, they are majorly herbivores example are cattle goat and sheep, they feed directly on the green plant has their food while the secondary consumer feeds on the herbivores, or can as well feed on the green plant they are majorly omnivores and Carnivores.

Then the last but not the least of the biotics components is the decomposers, they decompose the plants and animals after which the have died. The decomposers are majorly bacteria, fungi, when a plant or animal might havw died the fungi and bacteria then feeds on that organism making it to decompose after it has died.

     Interrelationships Between the Ecosystem

Has we have said earlier, the Ecosystem consist of biotics components as well as Abiotic components functioning together. So how does that happens.
Take a good example q green plant, a green plant is planted In the soil which is the Abiotic components, it gets support from sunlight has means of energy to produce it food as well as water, it then exchange gases with the atmosphere by means of respiration, after then the plant dies, after the plant dies bacteria such as nitrogen fixing bacteria feeds on the plant and replenish the soil with nutrients.
