The ecosystem

Hello, how are you doing? Well, today I am going to talk about the ecosystem. This is a very delicate subject.

by ecosystem means the community of living beings whose vital processes are related to each other. The development of these organisms occurs according to the physical factors of the environment they share.

Ecosystems agglutinate all biotic factors (ie, plants, animals and microorganisms) of a given area with the abiotic factors of the environment. It is, therefore, a unit composed of interdependent organisms that form trophic or food chains (the energy and nutrient stream established between the species of an ecosystem in relation to its nutrition).

It is important to emphasize that there are several ways to carry out the study of an ecosystem, more specifically three are the usual methods. Thus, in the first place, the analysis of it can be carried out through the alimentary relations that are produced in it, which translates into talking about the energy that reaches the Earth from the Sun so that it passes from one organism to another. This would in turn give place to the calls, as we have mentioned above, trophic chains where the plants are, the primary consumers or herbivores, the secondary consumers or carnivores, and the ghouls.

The second way to study an ecosystem is through the cycles of matter. With them, what is expressed is how the different chemical elements (oxygen, hydrogen, carbon ...) that form different living beings go from one trophic level to another.

And the third form of analysis is to focus on the so-called energy flow that goes from one level to another and is responsible for the ecosystem is functioning. In this case we have to emphasize that this energy always follows the same direction.

The notion of ecosystem emerged in the 1930s to explain the complex interaction between living beings, energy currents, material resources, and the community in which they develop.

The greater the number of species (that is, the greater the biodiversity), the ecosystem tends to have a greater capacity for recovery. This is possible thanks to the best possibilities of absorption and reduction of environmental changes.

The concept of habitat is associated with the ecosystem. The habitat is the physical place of the ecosystem, a region that offers the natural conditions necessary for the subsistence and reproduction of the species.

The ecological niche, on the other hand, is the way in which an organism is linked to the biotic and abiotic factors of the environment through different physical, chemical and biological conditions.

It is important to bear in mind that an ecosystem assumes a situation of equilibrium that changes over time and that implies the constant adaptation of the species that inhabit it.

In addition to all the above we can not ignore that currently one of the problems that worries the world society is the pollution of the ecosystem. It manifests itself through water, soil and air. For this reason, various initiatives and projects are being encouraged with the clear objective of curbing it, of protecting the environment and of achieving, therefore, that living beings have a better quality of life.
