• sun and moon

There are 3 main types:of ECOSYSTEMS

• POPULATION, COMMUNITY AND HABITAT

• AQUATIC, TERRESTRIAL AND MIXED

• LIVING, NON-LIVING AND ABIOTIC

• COMPETITION, PREDATION AND MUTUALISM

AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS

• An ecosystem can be as large as a desert or a lake or as small as a tree or a puddle.

• Living organisms develop and interact in water, such as ocean, lakes or rivers.

• Living organisms develop and interact on land.

• Living organisms develop and interact in areas where water meets land, like on the coast and wetlands.

TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEMS

• An ecosystem can be as large as a desert or a lake or as small as a tree or a puddle.

• Living organisms develop and interact on land.

• Living organisms develop and interact in areas where water meets land, like on the coast and wetlands. 

• Living organisms develop and interact in water, such as ocean, lakes or rivers.

MIXED ECOSYSTEMS

• Living organisms develop and interact in areas where water meets land, like on the coast and wetlands. 

• An ecosystem can be as large as a desert or a lake or as small as a tree or a puddle.

• Living organisms develop and interact in water, such as ocean, lakes or rivers.

• Living organisms develop and interact on land.

Some interactions that can occur between two organisms are:

• COMPETITION, PREDATION AND MUTUALISM

• POPULATION, COMMUNITY AND ECOSYSTEM

• LIVING AND NON-LIVING THINGS

• PREDATOR, MUTUALLY AND POLEN
