Ecosystem: 

• All organisms such as plants, animals, microorganisms and human beings as well as the physical surroundings interact with each other and maintain a balance in nature.
• All the interacting organisms in an area together with the non-living constituents of the environment form an ecosystem.
• The term ecosystem was coined by Tansley.

Components of an ecosystem:

Biotic Components: 

• It includes producers, consumers and decomposers.
• All living things have a direct or indirect influence on other organisms in an environment.
• Example: plants, animals, humans, microorganism etc.

Abiotic components: 

• All the in-organic components of the ecosystem, non-living physical and chemical composition of nature are abiotic components.

Thus, air comes under the abiotic component of the environment.
