Hey, Dr. Binocs? Hey, who’s that? Its me, the pond! Oh, how are you? Not good! Humans are dirtying me. Oh, that's sad. They are actually harming our ecosystem! Oh, that reminds me about
today’s topic Ecosystem! Come, let me tell you all about it! Zoom in! Ecosystem is a community of living organisms
along with their natural habitat.. ..and the non living components
of their environment. This network of living and non living
components in a given area.. ..is known as an ecosystem. An ecosyste
m could be a pond,
could be your house as well. And some believe that our Earth
is an ecosystem too! Ecosystem includes two major components: Biotic and Abiotic components. Abiotic components are the non-living
elements of the system. Such as Air, Water, Sunlight,
Nutrients and temperature. Biotic component are all the living
organisms living in the system. Like plants, animals, fungi,
micro-organisms and you! Ecosystems can be of any size. The area under your plant pot. Under this rock. A
pond. A puddle. The vast ocean. The city you live in. Or your country! Take the area under a rock, for example. In this ecosystem, you'll find biotic
components like the micro-organisms.. ..insects and abiotic components.. ..like soil, nutrients, air, etc! Now, this is an important
piece of information. Each organism living in an ecosystem
has a Role or Niche. For example, a Deer living in forest
is a prey. Lions, tigers, coyotes and other animals
eat them for food. Now imagine if a Deer w
as supposed to
eat lions, coyotes and wolves? Wouldn’t that make things difficult
for an ecosystem? We must remember that no two organisms
can have the same niche or too long. After a while one has to either
leave or go extinct. TRIVIA TIME! Did you know that even you are an ecosystem? Yes, you are an ecosystem to the thousands
of micro organisms that inhabit in you! Our ecosystem is really important. If we keep polluting our ecosystem like that! we would soon go extinct and Earth wouldn’t
be habitable ecosystem ever! On this note, this is me, Zooming out,
tune in next time for more fun facts! Hey kids, you liked my videos didn't you? Before you go don't forget to click on
