The functional aspect of ecosystem is productivity, decomparition, energy flow and nutrient cycling Productivity Plant synthesis food with input of solar energy Decomposition It is the process by which complex organic into organic substances Energy flow It is the process by which energy stored by plant transferred to the other trophic level and at each trophic level energy is disputed into atmosphere in different form and in an ecosystem final trophic level is of decomposer, which degrade the complex organic matter in to simple compound so energy flow maintain the integrity of ecosystem Nutrient cycling The movement of nutrient element through various component of an ecosystem is called nutrient cycling
