The Ecosystems Are Interconnected For Survival
By Genevieve Thomson
By definition, the ecosystems are a set of organisms
that live in certain environments. For example, fish,
algae, whales, corals and a body of water are part of
marine ecosystems, while scorpions, cacti, rattle snakes,
and sand form a desert ecosystem.
This phrase or expression originates from the vocabulary
of Sir Arthur George Tansley, when in 1935, it was used
to express the relationship and symbiosis existing between
living and non-living things in a certain environment.
As such, an ecosystem consists of two major parts, one
is the living thing, which is termed as community and
the other one is the non-living thing, which is called
the habitat.
Different Ecosystems All Over The World
Wherever you go on the planet, you would encounter
a number of different ecosystems, such as forest ecosystems,
marine ecosystems, freshwater ecosystems, coral reef
ecosystems, and so on. Whichever ecosystem you take
into consideration, you will find that there is a very
close relationship between the living and non-living
community.
The inter-dependence is so acute that even the slightest
change in any of the participants within an ecosystem
would result in changes throughout the bio network.
This is why it is very important that balance should
be maintained at all times throughout the system.
Acute Abuse Of The Natural Ecosystem
It is common knowledge today that our planet is dying
due to the acute abuse to the natural ecosystem caused
by human beings. Unless the ecosystems that exist now
are protected and restored, there is no hope for earth
to survive.
The major causes for the destructive imbalance in our
environment can be blamed upon population explosion,
pollution and greed. All these aspects need special
attention in order to save the earth. The continuous
exploitation of the major ecosystems is spelling doom
in our day, unless something is done soon.
A Chain Of Ecosystems Make Up Our Planet
Our planet is made of a multitude of ecosystems, each
one forming a vital link in the chain that nurtures
and promotes life. The ecosystems are so closely interwoven
that the slightest deviation in one triggers change
in another.
The situation is such that it calls for urgent review
of options and concrete steps to restore the ocean ecosystems,
as well as forest ecosystems, which provide the most
critical inputs for life. There is need for measures
that promote forest conservation, restoration of freshwater
ecosystems and many others so the quality of human life
will not suffer any further.
This is an extreme situation that calls for extreme
measures. Hopefully, we are all ready for it and this
exceptionally, unique planet will be saved.

Little Known Ecosystem Facts.....
How are ecosystems interconnected?
For the most part ecosystems are
interconnected through each other. It may be the snowshoe
hare that goes from an arctic landscape to the forest
floor. Each ecosystem on the planet is also touched
by mankind. You also have to factor in that within a
bigger ecosystem there will be smaller ecosystems living
and functioning on a daily basis.
It is a hard concept to wrap
your mind around that there are hundreds of different
ecosystems in the world and we have a part interconnecting
them all through us.
