Terrestrial ecosystem

A terrestrial ecosystem refers to communities of living organisms, including plants, animals, and microorganisms, that interact with each other and their environment on land. These ecosystems can vary widely, from forests and grasslands to deserts and tundras. Each type supports distinct species and ecological processes. Factors like climate, soil type, and geography influence the biodiversity and health of these ecosystems. They play a crucial role in supporting life, regulating climate, and providing resources such as food and clean air. Understanding terrestrial ecosystems helps us recognize the importance of conserving our planet's natural environments.
