Q. Which is the most stable ecosystem?
An ecosystem is a community made up of living organisms and nonliving components such as air, water, and mineral soil.
There are two main aspects of an ecosystem, its structure and it's function. Structure of ecosystem describes the various components of ecosystem. Biotic components like autotrophs, heterotrophs and abiotic components like the amount of inorganic substances, their distribution and climatic of the given region.
Function of an ecosystem includes the flow of energy, factors effecting it and the cycling of nutrients.
A stable ecosystem is an ecosystem in which the structure and function remain unaltered over a long period of time.
- Marine (ocean)
- Forest
- Mountain
- Desert
Answer: Marine (Ocean)

From all these above mentioned aspects, Oceans are considered to be the most stable ecosystem in nature. They are stable in their chemical composition due to being saline and other features like, dissolved oxygen, light, temperature also remain more or less constant. They are deep, continuous and large therefore their are less chances of any prominent change which alter their structure and function. They are well capable of resisting any of the small changes which occur.
