What is It
The Ecosystem is an environment where both living and non-living
things exist and interact with one another. This interaction enables the
survival of living things and affects non-living things. Example of
ecosystem is the tropical rainforests. Living things that can be found here
(are) please add composed of plants and animals. Non- living things
include soil, air, humidity, water and sunlight.
Rainforest has different layers namely emergent, canopy, understory
and forest floor. Emergent refers to trees that are 130 to 180 feet tall.
Canopy, on the other hand, has tall slender trees from a dense platform of
vegetation with 60 to 129 feet of the ground. The understory is about 59
feet and below and consists of trunks of canopy, shrubs, trees and small
plants. The forest floor is home to animals like jaguars, tigers and
cassowaries which thrive in a deep shade part of the forest where plant life
is thin. This is because only a small percent of sunlight gets through the
thick canopy and understory and reaches the forest floor. Organisms like
fungi, insects, worms and litter from taller trees that fall on the forest floor
can be found here.
