ECOSYSTEM - The Dr. Binocs Show | Best Learning Videos For Kids | Peekaboo Kidz

Hey, Dr. Binocs?

Hey, who’s that?

Its me, the pond!

Oh, how are you?

Not good! Humans are dirtying me.

Oh, that's sad.

They are actually harming our ecosystem!

Oh, that reminds me about today’s topic Ecosystem!

Come, let me tell you all about it!

Zoom in!

Ecosystem is a community of living organisms along with their natural habitat..

..and the non living components of their environment.

This network of living and non living components in a given area..

..is known as an ecosystem.

An ecosystem could be a pond, could be your house as well.

And some believe that our Earth is an ecosystem too!

Ecosystem includes two major components:

Biotic and Abiotic components.

Abiotic components are the non-living elements of the system.

Such as Air, Water, Sunlight, Nutrients and temperature.

Biotic component are all the living organisms living in the system.

Like plants, animals, fungi, micro-organisms and you!

Ecosystems can be of any size.

The area under your plant pot.

Under this rock.

A pond.

A puddle.

The vast ocean.

The city you live in.

Or your country!

Take the area under a rock, for example.

In this ecosystem, you'll find biotic components like the micro-organisms..

..insects and abiotic components..

..like soil, nutrients, air, etc!

Now, this is an important piece of information.

Each organism living in an ecosystem has a Role or Niche.

For example, a Deer living in forest is a prey.

Lions, tigers, coyotes and other animals eat them for food.

Now imagine if a Deer was supposed to eat lions, coyotes and wolves?

Wouldn’t that make things difficult for an ecosystem?

We must remember that no two organisms can have the same niche or too long.

After a while one has to either leave or go extinct.

TRIVIA TIME!

Did you know that even you are an ecosystem?

Yes, you are an ecosystem to the thousands of micro organisms that inhabit in you!

Our ecosystem is really important.

If we keep polluting our ecosystem like that!

we would soon go extinct and Earth wouldn’t be habitable ecosystem ever!

On this note, this is me, Zooming out, tune in next time for more fun facts!
