What are the eight ecosystems? What is the ecosystem of the Earth's kidney?

The largest ecosystem on Earth is the biosphere, the most complex ecosystem is the tropical rainforest ecosystem, and humans mainly live in artificial ecosystems dominated by cities and farmlands. Ecosystems can be large or small and intertwined. The solar system is an ecosystem. The following article mainly introduces the eight major systems and what the ecosystem of the kidney of the earth and the forest ecosystem are called.

What are the eight ecosystems?

The eight ecosystems are urban ecosystem, desert ecosystem, farmland ecosystem, wetland ecosystem, marine ecosystem, grassland ecosystem, forest ecosystem and biosphere. Ecosystem is a dynamic equilibrium system composed of biological communities and their living environment.

The scope of an ecosystem can be large or small, and they are intertwined with each other. The solar system is an ecosystem, and the sun is like an engine, continuously providing energy to the solar system.

The largest ecosystem on Earth is the biosphere, the most complex ecosystem is the tropical rainforest ecosystem, and humans mainly live in artificial ecosystems dominated by cities and farmlands.

The structure of an ecosystem changes over time. Generally, there are three time lengths: long-term measurement, which focuses on ecosystem evolution; medium-term measurement, which focuses on community succession; and short-term measurement.

The ecosystem of the Earth's kidney is

The kidney of the earth refers to the wetland ecosystem. Wetland ecosystem belongs to the aquatic ecosystem and is called the "cradle of life", "kidney of the earth" and "bird paradise", including coral reefs, mudflats, mangroves, lakes, rivers, estuaries, swamps, reservoirs, ponds, rice fields, etc.

Wetland ecosystems have high ecological diversity, species diversity and biological productivity, and their material circulation, energy flow, and species migration and evolution are active.

Wetlands cover only 6% of the Earth’s surface, but they provide a living environment for 20% of the Earth’s known species. They have irreplaceable ecological functions and are therefore known as the “Kidneys of the Earth.”

Wetlands contain rich natural resources and play an irreplaceable and important role in protecting the ecological environment, maintaining biodiversity, and developing the economy and society.

What is a forest ecosystem called?

Reasons why it is called the lungs of the earth:

There are a large number of green plants living in the forest ecosystem. Through photosynthesis, green plants can not only convert solar energy into various organic matter, but also absorb a large amount of carbon dioxide and release oxygen through photosynthesis, maintaining the balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the atmosphere, purifying the environment, and enabling humans to continuously obtain fresh air. Therefore, the forest ecosystem is known as the lungs of the earth.
