1. Define an Ecosystem.

Explanation:

A group of living things that share a space or environment and interact, feed, and reproduce together is referred to as an ecosystem. Some environments have enormous sizes. For instance, numerous avian species may lay their eggs in one location while feeding in another. On the other hand, some ecosystems might be physically small, like those that can be found on an oceanic coral reef or in a meadow at the border of a forest.How does each component of a forest ecology compare to a meadow ecosystem.


2. What is the importance of wildlife?

Explanation:

The ecological equilibrium of the ecosystem is aided by wildlife. As a result of herbivore population growth brought on by carnivore extinction, forest vegetation is impacted. As a result of the forest's resource scarcity, they migrate to agricultural areas, where they destroy the crops. Animals, plants, birds, and other species that reside in a forest are referred to as wildlife. Our planet is balanced by wildlife as well. Thus it also benefits the economies of both our nation and the rest of the world.
