Ecosystems
An ecosystem is a
community of living
organisms and their
physical environment
interacting as a system.
It includes plants, animals,
microorganisms, and
nonliving elements like
soil, water, and air.
Ecosystems vary in size
and complexity, forming
interconnected ecological
systems.
Importance of
Ecosystems
Ecosystems are vital for
sustaining life on Earth.

They provide essential


services such as regulating
climate, purifying air and
water, supporting
biodiversity, and enabling
food production.

Maintaining ecosystem
balance ensures
environmental stability,
biodiversity conservation,
and sustainable resource
management.
Forests
Forests are diverse ecosystems dominated by
trees and a variety of plant and animal species.

They play a crucial role in providing oxygen,


regulating climate, and supporting biodiversity.

Forests are home to a wide range of wildlife


and can be found in different regions
worldwide.
Deserts
Deserts are arid
ecosystems
characterized by low
precipitation levels and
unique plant and animal
adaptations.

They feature extreme


temperatures and limited
water availability.

Despite the harsh


conditions, deserts
support specialized flora
and fauna that have
evolved to survive in
these challenging
Aquatic
Aquatic ecosystems consist of diverse water-
based environments, including freshwater
habitats like rivers, lakes, and wetlands, as
well as marine environments such as oceans,
seas, and estuaries. These ecosystems
support a wide range of aquatic life forms
adapted to living in water.

Freshwater Ecosystems
○ rivers and streams
○ lakes and ponds
○ wetlands

Marine Ecosystems
○ oceans
○ coral reefs
○ estuaries

Aquatic ecosystems are vital for regulating


climate, sustaining biodiversity, supporting
fisheries, and providing ecological services.
Conservation efforts are essential to address
threats like pollution, habitat degradation, and
overexploitation, ensuring the long-term
health of these critical environments.
Grasslands
Grasslands are ecosystems dominated by grasses and
herbaceous plants, with fewer trees compared to forests.

They are found on every continent except Antarctica and serve as


important habitats for various species, including grazing animals.

Grasslands play a crucial role in biodiversity conservation and are


valuable for agriculture and grazing purposes.
Tundra
Tundra ecosystems have low temperatures and permafrost.
Tundras mainly consist of low-growing plants like mosses and
lichens.

Animals and plants in these ecosystems have unique survival


strategies for cold, harsh conditions.

Tundras play a critical role in global climate regulation and


biodiversity. They are threatened by human activities and climate
change.
Biodiversity
Biodiversity refers to the variety of life forms present in an
ecosystem, including plants, animals, microorganisms, and their
interactions.

High biodiversity contributes to ecosystem resilience, health, and


stability by ensuring a wide range of species that can adapt to
environmental changes.

Biodiversity hotspots are regions with exceptionally high levels of


species richness and endemism, making them important
conservation priorities.
Turn and
Talk

Why is biodiversity important


for ecosystem health and
resilience?
Conservation
Conservation aims to protect and preserve natural habitats, species, and
genetic diversity to maintain biodiversity and ecosystem services.

Conservation efforts include establishing protected areas, implementing


sustainable resource management practices, and raising awareness about
environmental issues.

Conservation initiatives play a crucial role in preventing species extinction,


combating habitat loss, and promoting sustainable development for the
well-being of both nature and humanity.
