    The document discusses ecosystems and defines them as areas where plants, animals, landscape, and climate interact. It describes the abiotic (non-living) components like sunlight, water, temperature, and soil. The biotic (living) components include producers like plants, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and decomposers. There are two major types of ecosystems - terrestrial (land) and aquatic (water). Some examples of terrestrial biomes mentioned are forests, grasslands, deserts, tundra, urban, and littoral zones. Tundra biome is characterized by low temperatures and short growing seasons that prevent tree growth.

     Abiotic
     Biotic Abiotic component includes—
    (A) Physical
    (1) Sunlight (for photosynthesis)
    Biotic(2)component
    Water (essential for living beings)
    (1)
    (3)Producers
    Temperature /Autotrophs
    (necessary to get survive)

    (4)Consumer/
    Soil (provideheterotrophs
    base and nutrients)
    (B) Chemical
    (1) Proteins
    (2) Carbohydrates
    (3) Fats
    (4) Minerals etc.
     feeding relationships between organisms

    There are two major types of ecosystems:

    1. terrestrial (land-based)
    2. aquatic (water-based.)
    forest biomes
    grassland biomes
    desert biomes
    tundra biomes
    urban biomes and
    littoral (seaside) biomes
     tundra is a biome where the tree growth is
    hindered by low temperatures and short
    growing seasons
    Tundra
    biome
     Arctic tundra

     Alpine tundra : natural region or biome that


    does not contain trees because of its at high
    altitude. Himalayas in Asia

     Antarctic tundra
     Biologically rich transition zone
    between dissimilar ecosystem
     Habitat with large degree of
    diversity and health
    It balances the rate of biological energy
    flow.
    It balances the nutrients cycle
    (biogeochemical cycle).
    Sun → Producer → Consumer → Decomposers
