The study also includes the processes by which living organisms change the abiotic environment the processes by which non-living environment affect living organisms and the events by which population levels of organisms are regulated.
The function of ecosystem describes the flow of energy and the cycling of nutrients. This includes the several aspects of an ecosystem.
(i) Energy flow
(ii) Food chain
