20.1 The Concept of an Ecosystem

An Ecosystem is basically consists of all the organisms living in a particular area, as well as all the nonliving, the environment with which the organisms interact, such as air, soil, water and sunlight.


We have looked at ecosystems when we created our food chains and mini ecosystems in our text books, because both topics link into each other. You can find a bit about the concept of ecosystems in the Environmental Management book in pages 176 - 177.
