WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO THIS WORLD

Ecosystem Level Biodiversity

In any environment you on this earth, then you will find another living being besides you. All living things interact or closely related to the environment in which her life. The environment includes components of biotic and abiotic components. Biotic components include multiple forms of life began a single-celled (uni cellular) to multicellular living things (multi-cellular) which can be viewed directly by us. Abiotic components include climate, light, rocks, water, soil and moisture. These are all referred to physical factors. In addition to physical factors, there are chemical factors, such as salinity (salt content), acidity, and mineral content.

Both components of biotic and abiotic components of very diverse or varied. Therefore, the ecosystem is an interaction between biotic components of the abiotic components were varied as well. In the ecosystem, all living things contained in it always make a reciprocal relationship, both among the living and the living being with lingkungnnya or abiotiknya component. This reciprocal relationship raises living in harmony within an ecosystem. What caused the diversity of the ecosystem level? Geographical differences, among others, are factors that lead to various forms of the ecosystem.

Geographical differences led to differences in climate. Climatic differences result in differences in temperature, rainfall, sunlight intensity, and duration of irradiation. This situation will influence the types of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) which occupy an area. In cold regions there are bioma Tundra. In this place there are no trees, which grow only type of moss. Animals that can live, such as reindeer and polar bears. In temperate climates terdpat bioma Taiga. Plant species most suitable for this area is Conifer plants, and fauna / animals including coyotes, and reindeer.

In tropical climate there is tropical rain forest. Tropical rainforests have a flora (plants) and fauna (animals) are extremely rich and diverse. Diversity of species of flora and fauna that occupy a region will form a different ecosystem. Then formed the diversity of the ecosystem level. Variation totality of genes, species and ecosystem variation shows that there is various shapes, appearance, frequency, size and other properties at different levels is biodiversity.

Biodiversity is developed from the level of gene diversity, the level of species diversity and ecosystem diversity level. Biodiversity should be preserved because in it there are a number of native species as raw materials of superior varieties assembly. Preservation of biodiversity in an ecosystem will be disrupted if there are components that is misbehaving.

Disturbances to the ecosystem components can cause changes in ecosystem structure. The amount of disruption to ecosystems can alter ecosystem form slowly or too quickly. Examples of ecosystem disturbances, such as felling trees in the forests by logging and hunting of wild animals can disturb the balance of the ecosystem. The disorder is slowly changing ecosystem may well affect the level of ecosystem diversity. Landslides or volcanic eruptions, can even destroy the ecosystem. Of course also will destroy the ecosystem level diversity. Likewise with the tsunami disaster.
