What are the types of ecosystems? Give their suitable examples

Answer»

Ecosystems are of two types, viz. natural ecosystem and artificial ecosystem. 

(1) Natural ecosystems : The ecosystems which operate under natural conditions without any much major interference by man are called natural ecosystems. E.g. terrestrial ecosystems such as grasslands, forests, deserts, etc. or aquatic ecosystems such as lakes, river, wetland, etc.

(2) Artificial ecosystems : The man engineered ecosystems which are maintained artificially by man by the addition of energy are called artificial ecosystems. These ecosystems are dependent upon manipulations from human beings. 

E.g. croplands, aquarium, aquaculture, etc. are the types of artificial ecosystems.
