Ecosystem is harming through pollution


What is Ecosystem and how it gets harm by pollution?


Ecosystem is a process that connects the living components to the non-living components. Simply, the relationship of organisms with one another and with the environment is called ecosystem. It is a complicated arrangement of relationship among environmental components. It is a natural system where human and other living or non-living components are connected to each other. In general, it is interrelationship among people and other organic or inorganic creatures. We are a part of nature, and we are very much dependent on other living thing, plant life and environmental composition. Ecosystem is natural work that balances our environment. It is a course of interaction of different living or non-living components to each other. It is a natural atmosphere consisting of all the living or non living elements. These elements must be linked to each other. Our environment stays stable through ecosystem.

There are many different ecosystems in this planet. It can be a forest or can be a desert or it can be a pond. It is divided into living elements and non living elements of the environments. Living elements refers to animal, people, bacteria etc. and non living element refers to water, sunlight, soil, rocks etc. The major source of energy comes from sunlight. It helps plants to grow through photosynthesis. Soil and water also help plants to grow. Living creature (animal, birds, fish etc.) gets food from plants or trees. Some animal eat other animal. Some eat both like human. The creatures which eat plants only are called Herbivores, those creatures which eat animal are called carnivores and those who eat both are called omnivores. Some animal which eat insects are called insectivore. This course is called FOOD CHAIN. Through this process we can see the connection between living and non living elements of nature. Ecosystem’s elements are dependent on each other. If one branch of it gets harm other branches automatically get harm. It needs to be healthy which refers that living elements can replicate themselves.  If it becomes unhealthy, it damages our environment.

As a result of human activity, hardly some of ecosystems are natural today. Ecosystems need protection because these are in danger now for pollution. Human harms ecosystem. For example cutting trees, killing animals, rising temperature of earth (greenhouse effect etc.) are harmful for ecosystem. People are cutting trees vary much now a days because they need furniture but it is rising earth’s temperature and Herbivores animals cannot get  enough food and as a result they are dying. People kill animals for their food or enjoyment.  At the present time they are killing so many that some kind of animal are becoming extinct. If it continues like this we will not be able to exist in this planet. Air pollution and water pollution also harm our ecosystem. Through air pollution temperature of our planet is rising and water pollution is harmful for aquatic animals. Ecosystem balances our environment. This structure should not be damaged because it is extremely essential for us to survive in this world without harming this world. If our world becomes unhealthy place for pollution, we cannot live healthy life. We will not be able to exist in this world. So, ecosystem is important for our existence.
