• 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

• Sunlight • Primary producer
• Tempreture • Hervivorus
• Precipitatio • Carniorous

 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
