Tansley. The term "Ecosystem" was first proposed by A.G. Tansley in 1935. Ecosystem is defined as a system formed by the community and the environment. Ecosystem is an interacting unit that includes both biological community as well as non-living components of an area. The living and non-living components of an ecosystem interact among themselves and function as a unit, which gets evident during the process of energy flow, decomposition, productivity and nutrient cycling. The few examples of ecosystems are ponds, forest, grassland etc. Crop fields and an aquarium may also be considered as man-made ecosystems. They are called as "Anthropogenic Biome".
