Question

How can you tell if the ecosystem is healthy?

Answer 1

Healthy ecosystem:

1. A healthy ecosystem has three attributes – resilience, productivity, and organization.
2. As long as all the elements are present, a healthy ecosystem has a wide variety of species and is less likely to be severely harmed by human involvement or natural disasters.
3. Productivity in an ecosystem is the proportion of energy that enters the ecosystem at a certain trophic level in the form of biomass.
4. Disruptions to the ecosystem caused by fire, flood, predation, infection, drought, etc. cause a significant loss of biomass. The ecology, however, has the capacity to withstand harm and bounce back swiftly. Ecosystem resilience or ecosystem robustness refers to this capability of an ecosystem.
5. In ecology, the organism, population, community, ecosystem, and biosphere are among the levels of an organization.
6. A region's ecosystem is made up of all the biotic and abiotic components of the environment.
7. A healthy ecosystem consists of native plant and animal populations that coexist with one another and with nonliving things (such as water and rocks).
8. A healthy ecosystem has a source of energy, which is usually the sun.
