Terrestrial Food Chain 🌳 A series of organisms eating and being eaten, transferring energy through the ecosystem. - Primary producers: Plants (convert sunlight to energy) - Primary consumers: Herbivores (e.g., insects, rabbits) - Secondary consumers: Carnivores (e.g., birds, foxes) - Apex predators: Top carnivores (e.g., lions, hawks) - Examples: - Grass → Grasshopper → Frog → Snake → Hawk - Trees → Caterpillars → Birds → Snakes - Importance: - Maintains ecosystem balance - Supports biodiversity and nutrient cycling 🌳 #FoodChain #TerrestrialEcosystem #Ecology #Wildlife #Nature

🐝 It is the thread that connects us all. 🍎 We wouldn't have food if it didn't exist. 👩‍🌾 Our life and wellbeing depends on it. ❓ What are we talking about? 🌿 BIODIVERSITY Here are 4️⃣ ways to protect biodiversity and strengthen ecosystem services 👆 How do you help protect biodiversity in your daily life?

🌍 ECOSYSTEM 🧠 DEFINITION An ecosystem is a self-sustaining structural and functional unit of nature in which biotic (living organisms) and abiotic (physical environment) components interact through energy flow and nutrient cycling. 👉 Term coined by A.G. Tansley (1935) 🌱 COMPONENTS OF ECOSYSTEM 🔹 1. Abiotic Components (Non-living) • Physical factors → Light, Temperature, Rainfall • Chemical factors → Water, Soil, Nutrients (C, N, P, etc.) 🔹 2. Biotic Components (Living) • Producers (Autotrophs) → Plants, algae (photosynthesis) • Consumers (Heterotrophs) → Herbivores, carnivores, omnivores • Decomposers (Saprotrophs) → Bacteria, fungi (nutrient recyclers) ⚙️ FUNCTIONS OF ECOSYSTEM 🌿 1. Productivity • Rate of biomass/organic matter production • Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) → total photosynthesis • Net Primary Productivity (NPP) = GPP – Respiration • Determines energy availability to higher trophic levels 🔄 2. Decomposition • Breakdown of dead organic matter • Steps → Fragmentation → Leaching → Catabolism → Humification → Mineralisation • Releases nutrients back to soil/water ⚡ 3. Energy Flow • Unidirectional → Sun → Producers → Consumers → Decomposers • Follows Lindeman’s 10% law (only ~10% energy transferred to next trophic level) • Explains pyramids of energy, biomass and numbers ♻️ 4. Nutrient (Biogeochemical) Cycling • Cyclic movement of nutrients between biotic & abiotic components • Types → Gaseous cycles (C, N) & Sedimentary cycles (P, S) • Maintains soil fertility & ecosystem stability 🔑 PROPERTIES OF ECOSYSTEM • Open System → continuous exchange of energy & matter • Dynamic & Temporal → changes over time (ecological succession) • Self-regulating (Homeostasis) → maintains equilibrium via feedback mechanisms • Trophic Organization → food chains, food webs, ecological pyramids • Interdependence → strong link between organisms & environment • Resilience → ability to recover after disturbance • Carrying Capacity → maximum population an ecosystem can support 🌍 TYPES OF ECOSYSTEM • Natural → Forest, Grass

Full video on Youtube (Link in bio) I collected mud and rainwater from a small puddle and sealed it inside a jar for weeks. When I finally opened it, the jar had turned into a living ecosystem full of insects, microorganisms, and tiny predators competing to survive. #ecosystem #microecosystem #microfauna #nature #biology science insects aquaticlife microworld habitatforge

Ecosystems ponds are simple aquatic environments that use plants and ecological principles to remain beautiful and healthy for fish and plants. The biological activity of the plants, fish, bacteria, and microbes keep this system balanced. They also make tranquil and inviting spaces to enjoy dinners and parties. Would you ever get an ecosystem pond? #watergarden #koipond #ecosystempond #aquaticplants

Photosynthesis in real time. This is an aquatic plant producing oxygen. In certain aquatic plants like Elodea and Cabomba, you can actually see photosynthesis in action. Place one of these plants in water under bright light, and something remarkable happens. Tiny oxygen bubbles begin to form on the leaves and stems, slowly rising to the surface in delicate streams. What you are watching is the plant converting sunlight into chemical energy, releasing oxygen as a natural byproduct. It is one of the rare moments where a biological process becomes visible, offering a quiet, beautiful glimpse into the power of photosynthesis.

A jar of seawater can hold an entire living world. Snails, alien-like crustaceans, and predatory worms turn this small container into a self-sustaining biosphere. #ecosystem #oceanlife #jararium #marinelife #microfauna nature biosphere
