An ecosystem is made up of living and nonliving things. Living things include plants, animals. Nonliving things include air, water. It creates food chains and food web. A food chain is series of plants/animals which are interrelated in the form of organism being eaten as food by the other. plants are producers. The animals eating plants are called as primary consumers and animals eating primary consumers are called as secondary consumers. Decomposers are those which decomposes the waster organic matter. Food web is various interlinked food chains in a community.

Ecosystem is made up of living and nonliving things. Living things include plants and animals. Nonliving things includes air, water, land. It is composed of organisms interacting within communities. The importance of ecosystem lies in both cycling of minerals and flow of energy. It contributes to the cycling of minerals and flow of energy.
According to Robert Constanza, 50% of the total cost of ecosystem services goes to
-
Climate regulation
-
Soil formation
-
Recreation
-
Nutrient cycling
Robert Constanza gave price tags to ecosystem services. According to him, soil formation accounts for 50% of the ecosystem service. It is the most important ecosystem service. The other ecosystem services include purify water and air, mitigate droughts and floods, nutrient cycling, habitat for wild life.
Which one is included under ecosystem services?
-
Protection of soil
-
Conservation and purification of water
-
Climate control
-
All of the above
The benefits which we obtain from the regulation of ecosystem processes such as climate regulation, natural hazard regulation, water purification, and waste management, pollination or pest control are known as Ecosystem services. Agroecosystems, forest ecosystems, grassland ecosystems, and aquatic ecosystems are included under these ecosystems. These are also known as regulating services. Examples include Climate regulation, Waste treatment, and disease regulation.

Free services provided to humans by ecosystems include
-
control of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration.
-
prevention of soil erosion.
-
filtering of pollutants from water and air.
-
all of the above
- Trees control atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration because they take up carbon dioxide and perform photosynthesis through which they release oxygen in the atmosphere. Hence, quality of air is maintained by ecosystems.
- The roots of plants held the soil particles tightly which prevent soil erosion.
- Plants filter out pollutants from water and air by trapping pollutants. They absorb pollutants from air and water in their tissues.
