ecosystems organisms

Living organisms cannot live isolated from their non-living environment. Living and the non-living environment interact with each other to form a stable system. A natural self-sufficient unit of the world comprising a biotic community (living organisms) and its abiotic physico-..

Components of the Ecosystem - The environment in which the man and other organisms live is called the biosphere. The biosphere is made up of different regions that have different types of flora (plants) and fauna (animals). The types of organisms in an area are determi..

1) Besides inorganic nutrient input, with the inflow of waste water, decomposition of organic wastes, plant nutrients such as nitrates and phosphates takes place. This promotes the growth of oxygen consuming algae (algal bloom), especially the blue-green algae. The growth of oxygen consum..

Introduction - Biogeography reveals that living organisms (plants and animals) are found practically everywhere on this earth. The living components interact among themselves as well as with their physical environment like soil, air and water. The branch of biology, which deals with the r..

These are various chemical substances found in the ecosystem but they are organic in nature. They form the greater part of the living organism and form a link between the abiotic compounds and the biotic compound..
