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

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

Features of Forest Ecosystem
• Forest canopy
• Forest floor
• Forest soil

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

Sand desert

Rock desert

Stony desert

Plateau desert

Mountain desert

Cold desert

Features of desert ecosystem
• Rainfall
• Temperature
• Soil
• light
• Plants and animals are adapted to live in
extremities

Funtion of desert ecosystem
• Solar energy resource
• Mineral resource

Grassland Ecosystem
• Marginal rainfall
• Vegetation is dominated by grasses
• Unimproved wild-plant communities
• Densely populated

Types of Grassland Ecosystem
• Tropical grassland
• Temperate grassland
• Others

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.

Types of Aquatic ecosystem
• Ocean
• Lotic
• Lentic
• Wetland

Features of aquatic ecosystem
• Light and temperature
• Current
• Chemistry
• Competitive organism

Funtion of Aquatic Ecosystem
• Recycles nutrients
• Purify water
• Resposible for proper rainfall
• Attenuate floods
• Recharge ground water
