Introduction:

Ecosystem is composed of abiotic and biotic components which interact with each other for their survival. Ecosystem is organized into various trophic levels, through which nutrients and energy is transferred from one trophic level to another. An ecosystem’s contribution to Earth’s total production is determined by both by the ecosystem’s production per unit area and by the portion of Earth that the ecosystem covers.
