Introduction An ecosystem is a system that is formed as a result of the interaction between a group of organisms living in a particular environment in this biosphere and in the inert environment of that organism. Many species of plants and animals live in this ecosystem. They are dependent on each other. In this ecosystem, […]

Introduction The ocean ecosystem is the largest of all the ecosystems in the world and is located in the largest surface area of the world. The total volume of all oceans is about 15 times that of land. There are a total of five oceans on this planet. About 70% of the earth’s surface is

Introduction Different types of ecosystems have been created through the interaction of climate, primitive rocks, flora, and fauna. These ecosystems are mainly of two types: terrestrial ecosystems and aquatic ecosystems. They cover a wide area called biomes. The boundaries of these biomes are roughly parallel to the axis. Forest ecosystems are one of the terrestrial

Introduction All living thing whether it is plants or animals depends on food for their survival. Plants produce their own food with the help of sunlight, water, nutrients from the soil, and carbon dioxide from the air. Therefore plants are the basic layer of all types of tropic levels therefore they are known as the

Introduction Each place on the earth has a different climate and has different geo-natural diversity therefore the study of plant ecology is very important. Plants adapt differently to different regions and thus maintain their existence through propagation. But many times the species is not able to adapt to this. Then the new species wants to

Introduction An ecological pyramid is a part of an ecosystem. In 1939, Charles Elton first introduced the concept of the ecological pyramid. Ecological pyramids are formed around the trophic structure of the ecosystem. The pyramid in the ecosystem consists of a number of layers from the ground to the top. The producer level forms the

Introduction In all types of ecosystems, green plants convert solar energy into chemical energy. This chemical energy is bound to food or organic compounds such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, etc. All the members of the living world have to depend on green plants for energy. That is why the amount of energy available at the

Introduction The sun is the major source of energy. Energy provides the ability to work. The use of energy in any biological process is inevitable. In the process of photosynthesis, solar energy is converted into potential energy, which is stored in plant tissues. Through assimilation, the potential energy is converted into heat energy. This energy

Introduction Our environment is made up of many living and non-living factors like animals, plants, soil, climate, and temperature. These factors are also known as biotic factors and abiotic factors of ecosystems. These physical and organic components that are biotic and abiotic factors of the environment interact with each other and form a balanced ecosystem.

Introduction There are different types of ecosystems depending on the temperature and other abiotic factors. Every ecosystem has different types of organisms based on abiotic factors. To sustain their lives these organisms depend upon each other for food and other live-sustaining sources. An interaction between living and non-living elements in any environment forms a system
