Types of ecosystem
Transcript of Types of ecosystem
Contents
• Ecosystem
• Major four types
• Grassland Ecosystem
• Aquatic Ecosystem
• Forest Ecosystem
• Desert Ecosystem
Ecosystem
• An ecosystem is a biological environment consisting of all the living organisms or Biotic component, in a particular area, and the nonliving, or Abiotic component such as air, soil, water and sunlight with which the organisms interact
Biotic
• Sunlight
• Tempreture
• Precipitatio
• Water or Moisture
• Soil or Chemical content
Abiotic
• Primary producer
• Hervivorus
• Carniorous
• Omnivorus
• Detritivorous
Types of Ecosystem
Natural

Artificial
Terres-trial
Micro-bial Aquatic
Forest Ecosystem
• High rainfall
•Large number of organism and flora
• Highly diverse population
• Stability of ecosystem is very sensitive
Types of Forest
• Tropical evergreen forest
• Tropical deciduous forest
• Temperate evergreen forest
• Temperate deciduous forest
• Taiga
Funtion of forest ecosystem
• Watershed Protection
• Atmospheric regulation
• Soil Erosion Control
• Wind Erosion Control
Desert Ecosystem
• High temperature, intense sunlight and low water
• Flora and fauna are very poorly developed and scarce
• Organisms are xeric adaptive
• Scarely populated
Types of desert
• Sand desert
• Stony desert
• Rock desert
• Plateau desert
• Mountain desert
• Cold desert
Features of desert ecosystem
• Rainfall
• Temperature
• Soil
• light
• Plants and animals are adapted to live in extremities
Grassland Ecosystem
• Marginal rainfall
• Vegetation is dominated by grasses
• Unimproved wild-plant communities
• Densely populated
Features of grassland ecosystem
• Temperature
• Precipitation
• Humidity
• Topography
• Unadaptive plants and animals
Funtion of grassland ecosystem
• Grassland provide food
• Grasslands Are Breeding Areas
• Human habitat
Aquatic Ecosystem
• Low temperature and sunlight
• Soil and vegitation is submerged
• Flora and fauna had adapted
• Densely populated.
Funtion of Aquatic Ecosystem
• Recycles nutrients
• Purify water
• Resposible for proper rainfall
• Attenuate floods
• Recharge ground water
