Different types of ecosystem
Ecosystem as defined is the space in which living and non-living things live and interact with each other. Now there are two types of ecosystems viz man made and natural.But now we will further talk about the ecosystem types which are:
Abiotic components
Inorganic and organic substances found in the soil, climatic factors, e.g., temperature,humidity, rainfall, and light.
Biotic Components
1.Producers
Different kinds of trees depending upon the climate
2.Consumers
Different kinds of primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers, e.g., deer, elephant, moles, snakes, lizards, lion, and tiger
3.Decomposers
These are various kinds of bacteria and fungi
• tropical rain forests (small mammals, reptiles birds,
monkeys, predators like tigers, jaguars etc. plant biodiversity
Tall tree, dense canopy.)
• temperate forests (deciduous plants like oaks, maples,
coniferous plants like pines, ferns, lichens and mosses are also
found.)
• coniferous forests (spruce, pine fir)
• Tundra (mosses, lichens, grasses and some dwarf trees;
animals like arctic foxes, hares, snowy owls; it is fragile
ecosystem)
Biotic components
1.Producers
Mainly grasses with a few scattered trees
2.consumers
Deer, rabbit, giraffe, etc., are herbivores,
while wolf, leopard, etc., are carnivores
3.Decomposers
Mainly bacteria and fungi
Abiotic Components
Inorganic elements (C, H, O, N, P, S), climatic components, temperature, rainfall, light, etc.
Biotic components
Abiotic components
It includes organic and inorganic substances,atmospheric gases dissolved in water, minerals found in dissolved state,
etc.
Biotic components
Forest Ecosystem
Inorganic and organic substances found in the soil, climatic factors, e.g., temperature,humidity, rainfall, and light.
Biotic Components
1.Producers
Different kinds of trees depending upon the climate
2.Consumers
Different kinds of primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers, e.g., deer, elephant, moles, snakes, lizards, lion, and tiger
3.Decomposers
These are various kinds of bacteria and fungi
• tropical rain forests (small mammals, reptiles birds,

found.)
• coniferous forests (spruce, pine fir)
• Tundra (mosses, lichens, grasses and some dwarf trees;
animals like arctic foxes, hares, snowy owls; it is fragile
ecosystem)
Grassland Ecosystem
1.Producers
Mainly grasses with a few scattered trees
2.consumers
Deer, rabbit, giraffe, etc., are herbivores,
while wolf, leopard, etc., are carnivores
3.Decomposers
Mainly bacteria and fungi
Abiotic Components
Inorganic elements (C, H, O, N, P, S), climatic components, temperature, rainfall, light, etc.
Desert ecosystem
Producer
Predominantly thorny shrubs, cactus, opuntia, etc.
Consumers
Different insects, lizards, reptiles, nocturnal rodents, birds, etc.
Decomposers
Various bacteria and fungi
Abiotic components
Low rainfall, high temperature, and sandy soil.
Pond Ecosystem
It includes organic and inorganic substances,atmospheric gases dissolved in water, minerals found in dissolved state,
etc.
Biotic components
Producers
Submerged floating and emergent aquatic plants
For example, nelumbo, hydrilla, chara, etc.
Consumers
May be primary, secondary, or tertiary, e.g., small fishes, beetles,
mollusca, crustaceans, etc.
Decomposers
Chiefly bacteria, actinomycetes, fungi, etc.
