3. Terrestrial Ecosystem
It is a type of ecosystem found only on biomes. Seven primary terrestrial ecosystems
exist: tundra, taiga, temperate deciduous forest, tropical rain forest, grassland , deserts. Taigas are the
world's largest terrestrial ecosystem and account for about 29% of the Earth's forests.It is the major
agroecosystem of India and is predominately controlled by human activities for maximizing the food
production with nitrogen (N) as the most widely used input. It is distinguished from aquatic ecosystems by
the lower availability of water and the consequent importance of water as a limiting factor. Terrestrial
ecosystems are characterized by greater temperature fluctuations on both a diurnal and seasonal basis than
occur in aquatic ecosystems in similar climates.
4. Aquatic Ecosystem
It is an ecosystem in a body of water. Communities of organisms that are dependent on each other and on
their environment live in aquatic ecosystems. The two main types of aquatic ecosystems are marine
ecosystems and freshwater ecosystems. It support a wide range of organisms, including microorganisms,
invertebrates, insects, plants, and fish. Some hydrologists work in understanding the trophic systems
within aquatic ecosystems and their health as a function of environmental conditions such as water
temperature and turbidity.
