Observing Ecosystems Ecosystems-The sums of all the organisms living within its boundaries and all the abiotic factors with which they interact. Chemical Elements such as carbon and Nitrogen are cycled among abiotic and biotic components of the ecosystem. Photosynthetic organisms assimilate these elements in inorganic form from the air‚ soil‚ and water and incorporate them into their biomass‚ some of which is consumed by animals. Both energy and matter are transformed in ecosystems throught
