What is an ecosystem?• An ecosystem refers to the organisms which live in a

particular area, the relationships between them, and their physical environment.

• Ecosystems have two components: -biocenosis: is the set of living beings in the ecosystem. -biotope: is the inorganic part of the ecosystem, the physical

• Deciduous forest has 4 seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In autumn the leaves change of color. During the winter months the trees lose their leaves.

• Is found in the temperate zone.

Flora

• Plants are adapted to survive in these conditions. Some trees have leaves that absorbs sunlight and water.
