The answer to #2 Is a..biota is the life of "a" plant, or animal (etc.) of the particular region/habitat, etc.
Answer:
Human activities affect the flow of energy and matter in an ecosystem and alter the energy balance in ecosystems through the unsustainable nature of what they do. The energy flow is affected in several ways as a result of pollution, overpopulation, deforestation, burning fossil fuels, etc. Such changes have stimulated soil erosion, climate change, causing water unfit to consume, poor quality of air and so on. When humans cause a change in the energy balance, they impact the ability of the ecosystem to respond and adapt to changes in the environment. It is like getting a cut, but it never heals and grows bigger instead.
Answer:
Energy in an ecosystem is mainly made by the producers of an ecosystem. The net primary productivity in an ecosystem depends on many factors. Some of them are:
- Amount of sunlight: The amount of sunlight that the plants and trees might be has basic influence on the primary productivity. Plants and trees receiving enough sun light will be able to make more food for organisms living in that area as compared to the producers which do not receive enough sun light.
- Soil texture: The soil texture and the availability of nutrients heavily influence the primary productivity of an ecosystem. An area having a soil texture with not enough nutrients will not be able to grow more plants. As a result, the productivity would decrease.
Decomposers play a critical role in the flow of energy through an ecosystem. They break apart dead organisms into simpler inorganic materials, making nutrients available to primary producers.
