9. An ecosystem can be as small as a backyard pond

11. Or as large as a desert

13. The living parts of an ecosystem are known as the Biotic Factors.
The non-living parts of an ecosystem are known as the Abiotic Factors.

14. The Two Parts of an Ecosystem
The biotic factors of an ecosystem consists of all the living organisms that live together and interact with one another.
Examples:
The abiotic factors of an ecosystem includes all the nonliving factors that affect the living organisms.
Examples: air, water, soil, light, and temperature
temperature
Sun
soil
water

15. Temperature

16. The Rainforest

17. The Tundra

18. Sunlight
The strength and the amount of sunlight determine the plants that can live in an ecosystem
Sunlight is a factor in oceans also, photosynthetic organisms grow only in the first 100 meters of depth

19. Coral Reef

20. Soil Soil is a mixture of very small rock and mineral particles
Organisms residing within the soil breakdown the remains of dead plants and animals.

22. Water All living things need water to carry out the processes of life
Ecosystems that have a lot of available water can support a large number of plants and animals.

24. Often large amounts of water are available, but may not be usable
