Abstract
An ecosystem is made up of a community of many different living organisms and their non-living environment, which includes climate and soil. Natural ecosystems are places such as oak woods, ponds, deserts and the seashore. They are easily recognisable by the plants and animals in them as well as by their non-living parts such as fresh flowing water in a river ecosystem or dry sand in a desert.
