Posted by Shiva Ramtel Thursday, September 30, 2010


The surface of land is not same in all places .Due to the different physical structures found on the land ,there is diversity on the surface of land .Depending on the environment of desert ,forest , grassland etc.there is diversity in abiotic and biotic factors.In each and every palace ,there is close interrelation between biotic and abiotic factors .A grassland ecosystem can be taken as an examples .
Grassland ecosystem : flowing abiotic and biotic factors are found in a grassland ecosystem .
Abiotic factors : soil ,stones , decayed plant materials ,light ,heat,moisture etc are the abiotic factors of the grass land ecosystem .
Biotic factors : Green plants and living creature found in grassland are biotic factors .As in pond ecosystem ,these factors can be classified into three groups .These are producers, consumers and decomposes . Terrestrial ecosystemWeed and other plants of grassland are producers .Animals like earthworm ,insects ,mouse ,rabbit,deer,goat ,monkey ....etc . Which feed on green plants in order to survive are the examples of primary consumers .Animals like jackal ,wolf,frog,snake and birds etc.Which depend on primary consumers for food are secondary consumers where as physically strong carnivorous .Animals like lizard, jackal, tiger, leopard , lion ,vulture etc are tertiary consumers. After the death of producers and consumers micro organisms like bacteria and fungi decompose their dead bodies and mix them into soil The green plants again absorb the nutrients from soil. This close interrelationship between biotic and abiotic factors is maintained in grassland and the ecosystem in continued .
