Bioecosystems
A bioecosystem, often referred to simply as an ecosystem, is a dynamic system that consists of living organisms and their physical environment, functioning together as a unit. It encompasses all the biological communities—plants, animals, fungi, microorganisms—and the abiotic elements such as soil, water, air, and climate within a specific area. The interactions among these components drive processes like energy flow, nutrient cycling, and population regulation.
Ecosystems can vary significantly in size and complexity, from small ponds to vast forests and oceans. They
Ecosystems operate under certain principles, including resilience—the ability to recover from disturbances—and sustainability, which involves maintaining
As complex and adaptive systems, bioecosystems serve as models for sustainable resource management, inspiring biomimicry and
