WHAT IS ECOSYSTEM An ecosystem consists of the biological community that occurs in some locale‚ and the physical and chemical factors that make up its non-living or abiotic environment. There are many examples of ecosystems -- a pond‚ a forest‚ an estuary‚ grassland. The study of ecosystems mainly consists of the study of certain processes that link the living‚ or biotic‚ components to the non-living‚ or abiotic‚ components. Energy transformations and ecosystem components are the two main topics
