Types of ecosystem Presented by, Priyanka Chowksey DAIMSR
Contents 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
Biotic Sunlight Tempreture Precipitatio Water or Moisture Soil or Chemical content Abiotic Primary producer Hervivorus Carniorous Omnivorus Detritivorous
Forest Ecosystem High rainfall Large number of organism and flora Highly diverse population Stability of ecosystem is very sensitive
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
