An ecosistem is all the living and non
                        living things in a certain area. All the
                        plants  and  animals,  even  the  micro
                        organism  that  live  in  the  soil,  are
                        living  parts  of  an  acosystem.  Air  ,
                        water and rocks are non living parts of
                        an ecosystem.

                        Ecosystems  are  smaller  parts  of  all  the  living  environments  on  earth.  Earth‟s
                        entire  living  environment  is  called  the  biosphere.  The  biosphere  is  made  up  of
                        large  areas  called  biomes.  Land  biomes  include  grasslands,  desertd,  coniferous
                        forest ( forests of cone – baring trees ), decidugus forest ( forests of trees that shed
                        their leaves) , and tropical rain forests. There are also biomes in bodies of water,
                        such as the ocean.

                        Any change in one living or nonliving part of an ecosystem can cause change in
                        other  parts.  Drought,  storms  ,  and  fires  can  change  ecosystems,  some  changes
                        harm ecosystems. If there is too little  rainfall, plants will not have enough water
                        to live. If a kind of plant dies off, the animals that fed on it may also die or move
                        away.
