Answer» tion:A forest ecosystem is a functional unit or a system which comprises of SOIL, trees, insects, animals, birds, and man as its interacting units. A forest is a large and complex ecosystem and hence has greater species diversity.Also, it is much more stable and resistant to the detrimental changes as compared to the small ecosystems such as wetlands and grasslands.A forest ecosystem, similar to any other ecosystem, also comprises of abiotic and BIOTIC COMPONENTS. Abiotic components refer to inorganic materials LIKE air, water, and soil. Biotic components include producers, consumers, and decomposers.These components interact with each other in an ecosystem and thus, this INTERACTION among them makes it self-sustainable. |
