Ecosystems

  Ecosystem called all interactions that exist between living things and between them and the environment in which they find themselves. By definition, the ecosystem is composed of elements living (biotic) and non- living (abiotic). Within the first animals, plants, algae, fungi, bacteria and protozoa are included. The abiotic factors are water, soil, air, sunlight, weather factors, etc. For that reason it is important to know the different relationships that exist between living things and their environment. . Ecosystems are studied by analyzing the food chain, the cycles of matter and energy flows. The importance of the ecosystem concept is that “everything is related to everything."
