Expert Answer
- A large and diverse variety of flora and fauna stay together and maintain the ecological balance in a forest.
- The plants and animals are dependent on each other for oxygen-carbon dioxide balance, food and other factors.
- The biotic and abiotic factors of the forest ecosystem are independent and essential.
- The green plants produce food. All animals, whether herbivores or carnivores depend directly or indirectly on plants for food. Organisms which feed on plants often get eaten by other organisms and so on.
- For example, grass is eaten by insects which in turn is taken by the frog. The frog is consumed by snakes. This is said to form a food chain.
- There are various food chains in the forests. All food chains are interlinked. If any one food chain is disturbed it affects other food chains.
- In this way every component of forest is inter-dependent on each other.
