In this video, he deals with ecosystem: its definition, components, factors responsible for interaction in an ecosystem, components of structure of ecosystem, its characteristics, types of ecosystem on basis of origin: natural and artificial, on the basis of size: mega, macro, micro, nano, components of ecosystem: biotic and abiotic, abiotic includes temperature: temperature based zonation of water bodies i.e. epilimnion, metalimnion and hypolimnion, soil: edaphic, composition of soil, loamy soil, 4 steps in humus formation, mor vs mull, types of soil CAGE- colluvial, alluvial, glacial, eolian, general soil properties, water hydrocoles, mesocoles, xerocoles; euryhaline and stenohaline and rest awesome stuff. In this video, Dr. Roman deals with Ecosystem: biotic, abiotic, interaction, biogeochemical cycles, Biosphere – Global ecosystem, Structure of ecosystem: input, transfer of energy, output, Characteristics, Types of ecosystem based on origin: Natural – Terrestrial, Aquatic - Lotic, Lentic, Artificial: Crop fiels – Monoculture, Aquarium, based on size: Mega, Macro, Micro, Nano, Components of ecosystem – Biotic, Abiotic – Temperature: Thermal stratification in lakes - Epilimnion, Metalimnion, Hypolimnion, Water: Hydrocoles, Mesocoles, Xerocoles, Euryhaline, Stenohaline, Halophytes, Neritic zone, Ox bow lake, Estuaries, Soil Edaphic factors, Composition, Soil formation – Pedogenesis, Pedology, Loamy soil, Soil organic matter, Duff, Humus, Litter, Fragmentation, Leaching, Catabolism, Humification, mineralisation, Mor, Mull, types of soil: Residual, Transported soil, Colluvial, Aluvial, Glacial, Eolian, best ph of soil, excess water logging , salinity, nutrient availability – ph of soil, alkaline soil, correction, Gypsum, Main types of soil in India - ICAR: Red, Laterite, Lateritic, black, alluvial, forest, hill, peaty, marshy, desert, saline, alkaline.
