What is the main point of the ecosystem?

Within ecosystems, matter and energy are fundamental components that undergo constant cycling and transformation.

Conservation of matter within ecosystems implies that matter is neither created nor destroyed but is continuously recycled through various processes.

Ecosystems are intricate networks of living organisms and their surrounding environment. They vary in size and can be classified as marine, aquatic, or terrestrial.

Similarly, energy within ecosystems is conserved, albeit in the form of transformations from one form to another. Solar energy, for instance, is converted into chemical energy through photosynthesis and then flows through food webs.

The term 'biome' refers to broad categories of terrestrial ecosystems, each characterized by specific climate, vegetation, and wildlife.
