264 - What are the main types of ecosystems?

There are mainly 4 types of ecosystems:

  1. Terrestrial ecosystem (land): includes forests, deserts, and grasslands.
  2. Freshwater ecosystem (rivers, lakes, and wetlands): home to fish and plants that live in water, but not saltwater.
  3. Marine ecosystem (oceans and seas): includes coral reefs and deep-sea life, with saltwater and lots of species.
  4. Atmospheric ecosystem (air): includes the air we breathe and all living things that depend on the air for life.

These ecosystems are all connected and play important roles in our Earth's environment.
