Ecosystem Components and Interactions

The video introduces ecosystems, explaining how living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) components interact to form ecosystems. It covers the roles of producers, consumers, and decomposers in maintaining ecosystem balance. The video emphasizes the importance of protecting the environment by planting trees, using renewable energy, and conserving resources. It concludes with a call to action to share the video.
