BASIC CONCEPTS
Basic Concepts
What is an ecosystem?
An ecosystem is a system formed by a set of organisms, the physical environment in which they live (habitat), and the biotic (living beings) and abiotic (non-living elements, such as the soil or air) relationships established between them. The species of living beings that inhabit a given ecosystem interact with each other and with the environment, determining the flow of energy and matter that occurs in that environment.
Types of ecosystems
Aquatic Ecosystem: They are characteried by the presence of water as the main component and are the most abundant type of ecosystem. They constitute almost 75% of all known ecosystems. This group includes the ecosystems of the oceans and those of fresh or salty inland waters, such a rivers, lakes and lagoons.
Terrestrial ecosystems: They take place on the earth's crust and out of water in various types of relief: mountains, plains, valleys, and deserts. There are important differences between them in temperature, oxygen concentration, and climate, so the biodiversity of these ecosystems is large and varied. Some examples of this type of ecosystem are forests, scrublands, steppe, and deserts.
