What is an ecosystem? An ecosystem consists of the interaction between living organisms,and their relationship to non-living components 生态系统(ecosystem)就是在一定空间中共同栖居 着的所有生物(即生物群落)与其环境之间由于不断 地进行物质循环和能量流动过程而形成的统一整体。 In essence,ecosystems describe the flow of energy and cycling of chemicals through that system
