For humans, our ecosystem (in full, ecological system) is something upon which we are utterly dependent for food and habitat but most of us rarely, if ever, think about. The ecosystem consists of many different organisms – plants, humans and other animals, soil, water and microorganisms such as bacteria – living together and being interdependent for survival.
An ecosystem contains producers, consumers, decomposers, and dead and inorganic matter. All ecosystems require energy from an external source – this is usually the sun. On Earth there are millions of ecosystems – everything from a small pond to the world ocean, which covers 71% of Earth’s surface and is the largest ecosystem on the planet.
