Welcome to the fascinating world of ecosystems! Ecosystems are communities of living organisms interacting with their physical environment. These interactions sustain life through processes like the water cycle, energy flow, and nutrient cycling.
Features of Ecosystems
- Energy Flow - Sunlight is the primary source of energy driving ecosystem processes. Plants, or producers, capture this energy through photosynthesis.
- Food Chains and Webs - Energy and nutrients travel through food chains, connecting producers, consumers, and decomposers.
- Biodiversity - Healthy ecosystems boast diverse species, contributing to resilience and productivity.
