Ecosystem Balance

Ecosystem balance refers to the natural harmony between living organisms and their environment, where each species plays a role that supports the overall health and stability of the system. When balanced, plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms interact in ways that ensure resources like food, water, and nutrients are replenished, allowing all to thrive. Disruption—such as pollution, habitat destruction, or invasive species—can tip this balance, leading to negative impacts like reduced biodiversity and degraded ecosystems. Maintaining ecosystem balance is essential for sustaining the natural processes that support life on Earth.
