Our earth is spectacular and unique. It is a complex ecosystem. Do you know what an ecosystem is? An ecosystem is a community of living and non-living components in an area that interacts with each other. Living components include plants and animals, while non-living examples are water, rocks, soil, weather, sand. Together, they make up a very special place called an ecosystem!
