Document to print. The four fundamental ecological processes of ecosystems are the water cycle, biogeochemical (or nutrient) cycling, energy flow and community dynamics, i.e. how the composition and structure of an ecosystem changes following a disturbance (succession).
An ecosystem is a community of living organisms in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment (things like air, water and mineral soil), interacting as a system.These biotic and abiotic components are regarded as linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows.xternal factors such as climate, the parent material which forms the soil and topography, control the overall structure of an ecosystem and the way things work within it, but are not themselves influenced by the ecosystem. Other external factors include time and potential biota.
