Give your own insights or idea about the different functions of the ecosystem.

Based in the video that I’ve seen there are 4 types of function of ecosystem : productivity and levels,
decomposition, energy flow, nutrient cycling. Ecosystem functions are conceived as a subset of
ecological processes and ecosystem structures. Natural processes, in turn, are the result of complex
interactions between biotic (living organisms) and abiotic (chemical and physical) components of
ecosystems through the universal driving forces of matter and energy.
Functions of an ecosystem can be studied as an exchange of energy amongst different natural processes
that are taking place in plant and animal communities of different biomes of the world. All exchange
processes help in sustaining life on the planet as well as the production of biomass and the decomposition
of organic matter. All these functions take place through balanced and controlled processes.
