    2. What are the different types of ecosystems? Site at least 1 example for each:

    Forest ecosystems
    Grassland ecosystems

    web of different tree and animal species,
    different climate zones, from tropical savannas to mid-latitude
    plus many fungi and bacteria species
    steppes and even across sections of the tundra biome.
    interacting with one another.
