The Components of an Ecosystem Include:
Biotic Components (Living):
- Producers: Autotrophs like plants that convert solar energy into food.
- Consumers: Heterotrophs that consume producers (herbivores) or other consumers (carnivores).
- Decomposers: Microorganisms like fungi and bacteria that break down organic matter.
Abiotic Components (Non-living):
- Physical Factors: Light, temperature, humidity, water, and soil.
- Chemical Factors: Nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and oxygen.
