A natural unit consisting of all the plants, animals, and microorganisms (biotic) factors in a given area, interacting with all of the non-living physical and chemical (abiotic) factors of this environment [1].
A dynamic complex of plant, animal and micro-organism communities and their non-living environment interacting as a functional unit. A typology of ecosystems is provided by [2]
