Ecosystems can be categorised into two broad categories: natural and artificial. Natural Ecosystems are those ecosystems that operate by themselves under natural conditions. These ecosystems are further categorized as Terrestrial and Aquatic Ecosystems. Terrestrial ecosystems relate to lands, whereas Aquatic ecosystems relate to fresh or marine water. Freshwater ecosystems may be Lotic or Lentic. Lotic are running water ecosystems like springs, streams or rivers, whereas Lentic Fresh Water Ecosystems may be found in standing waters of lakes, ponds, pools, puddles, ditches, swamps, etc. Marine Ecosystems are found in marine waters of salt lakes, seas, oceans and estuaries. Artificial Ecosystems are man-engineered ecosystems like crop fields, artificial ponds and lakes, aquaria, fish ponds, and abandoned mines reclaimed as lakes or water bodies for recreation.
Living beings have many processes in common. Among all the common processes there is one very interesting and wonderful process…
Energy is essential for working and survival of all the organisms on this planet. In fact, it is the energy which enables organisms to perform their biological functions.
In irrigated conditions 80 kg of Nitrogenous fertilizers, 30 kg of Phosphorus, 20 kg of Potassium and 20 kg of Sulphur fertilizers are recommended in one hectare of land for the linseed cultivation.

Growth and movements in plants occur due to internal and external factors. Plant hormones are internal factors while light, touch, gravity and other stimuli are external factors that affect plant growth and movements.
All those processes that maintain the body of an organism collectively are called as life processes. These processes principally include Nutrition, Respiration, Internal Transport, and Excretion. Some other processes of life like control and coordination, Reproduction, Heredity and Evolution etc. are essentially found in living beings but they are not directly related to processes of life. Hence, these may or may not be regarded as life processes
There are various uses of Solar Energy. Farmers in Traditional Farming Communities used to solarise fields by living them empty after a deep ploughing during summers. It killed insects and pests. Human skin synthesizes vitamin-D when exposed to sunlight for short durations.
