Ecological Framework
An ecosystem is a system in which the biotic (plants, animals, people), the non-biotic (landforms, soil, water, climate) endure as a unit in nature. Those units are represented by means of an ecosystem framework. An ecosystem framework can help us understand what makes one ecosystem special, how ecosystems differ from one another and how they are distributed. An ecosystem framework can also help us understand the relationship between people and the environment in an more holistic manner.
