This was submitted by a classmate of mine as part of a class project so there is no copyright issue. Apparently the other site is a clone. 24.84.169.90 04:19, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Better definition
It needs a better definition. See, for instance:

"Definition: The ecosystem concept was originally defined as a biological community, consisting of plants, animals, and microbes, interacting with a physical environmental complex, consisting of soils, water, air, and physical conditions such as temperature and wind, all in a specified area. The human ecosystem combines these components traditionally recognized by ecologists with the built environment and the social characteristics, structures, and interactions in the area of interest (Fig 1). The key aspects of ecosystems are 1) the spatial boundary, 2) the physical, biological, social, and engineered and built components, 3) the interactions among the components, and 4) the feedbacks and controls that result from the interactions within the ecosystem or which are imposed by conditions that exist outside the ecosystem boundary."
