An environment includes all of the biotic, or living, and abiotic, or nonliving, things in an area. An ecosystem is created by the relationships that form among the biotic and abiotic parts of an environment.
There are many different types of ecosystems. Here are some ways in which these ecosystems can differ from each other:
the pattern of weather, or climate
the type of soil or water
the organisms that live there
A wetland is a type of ecosystem. It has land that is covered with water during most of the year, soil that is rich in nutrients, and other water ecosystems nearby.
