    An ecosystem is defined as a community of living organisms that interact with each other and their non-living physical environment within a specific area. It has both biotic components, such as producers, consumers, and decomposers, and abiotic components including physical factors like light, temperature, water and soil. Key ecosystem processes include the water cycle, mineral cycles, energy flow through the system, and community dynamics involving succession over time. Ecosystems can be categorized as either open systems that allow energy and mass exchange across boundaries, like the hydrosphere, or closed systems like the entire Earth that only exchange energy across boundaries.

    ECOSYSTEM

    WHAT IS ECOSYSTEM??
    Ecosystem An ecological system. All the plants and animals of a particular area considered in terms of how they interact with their environment.(little oxford english dictionary) Ecology is concerned with understanding the ways matter and energy move through ecosystem. System regularly interacting and interdependent forming a unified whole.

    so,,,
    Ecosystem is a defined area in which a community of living organism lives and interact among other living organism and its nonliving physical environment.

    COMPONENTS OF AN ECOSYSTEM
    ABIOTIC COMPONENTS Abiotic components are such physical and chemical factors of an ecosystem. This specific abiotic factors represents the geological,geographical,hydrological,clima tological,features of a particular ecosystem. Example: light,temperature,atmosphere gases,water,wind and soil.

    CONTINUE.....
    BIOTIC COMPONENTS The living organisms are the biotic components of an ecosystem. In ecosystems living things are clasified after the way they get their food. Example: producers(autotrophs)-organism capable of photosynthesis, consumers(heterotroph)-herbivores and carnivors, decomposers-microorganism.

    ECOSYSTEM PROCESSES
    PROCESS 1: WATER CYCLE PROCESS 2: MINERAL CYCLE PROCESS 3: ENERGY FLOW PROCESS 4:COMMUNITY DYNAMICS (SUCCESSION)

    CATEGORIES OF ECOSYSTEM
    OPEN ECOSYSTEM Allow energy and must exchange across system boundary. Most natural system are open system. Example: hydrosphere CLOSED ECOSYSTEM Energy but not mass is exchange across the system boundary.

    Example: earth system
