Ecosystems are part of our lives each day. It is everything around us, seen or unseen with our naked eyes. Man's unyielding impact on the Earth's ecosystem is not a new phenomenon. Tests and studies by prominent ecologists have already proven that man's constant presence slowly, but surely means the earth's demise. The balance is delicate, and education and diligence will be needed if we are to maintain that balance. It is distressing that a vast majority of people are unaware of the way they effect their immediate environment, not to speak of the delicate balance of nature's ecosystem. Do you care about the impact? We are all part of an ecosystem, and need to realize how all we affect, and are affected by, it in all that we do. This audio program will discuss ecosystem characteristics and classification. This text will show you the hope which it provide information about everything around you.

How do we classify ecosystems?

Ecosystems are categorized accordingly using multiple various methods. The classification can also be based upon the vegetation and terrain like a rainforest ecosystem. Classification may be according to the kind of atmosphere where they live, such as the marine ecosystem. A consistent classification system still remains elusive although experts and researchers studying ecosystems are working hard to define a universal classification system that can identify ecosystems for protection purposes.

What do you infer from Millennium Ecosystem Assessment.

Scientists and researchers in 2001 undertook an effort to study the ecosystems of the world and determine the extent of the damage that has been done to them by mankind. Cataloging and labeling of earth's ecosystem was a tedious effort made in history. They have proven that over the past fifty years we have caused more damage to the ecosystem than has ever been done before. If we want to continue to live in a sustaining environment then this assessment is important to humans everywhere. We must be clear what are the effects on the environment for us to make the required changes to ensure a brighter future for our planet.

How would we describe a biome?

The ecosystem is also called a biome. In one contained area, a group of plants, animals and soil organisms are living together. The murking and milieu of the swamp or the urban sprawl next to it is the urban biome or biome in the outback of Australia. Even our homes are considered to be a biome within a larger biome of area. You need to keep in mind that it also includes any non-living object that is present within the region.

How are ecosystems formed?

An environment and an organism are the starting points. An ecosystem is started from that initial beginning point. As the organisms grow and flourish along with flora and other fauna coming into the area the ecosystem begins to take shape. A good example of this would be a marine environment in which a piece of coral has begun to grow. As the coral starts to grow or increase in number, marine species like fish start taking shelter and food from coral. Presently, this is now what we call the ecosystem. Although it is an ecosystem that exists within a larger ecosystem, it is still considered an ecosystem.
