  8. Examples of sustained growth
    Uninfluenced biological ecosystems
    from https://www.biologyonline.com/dictionary/ecosystem, we see that an
    ecosystem is
    a system consisting of biotic and abiotic components that function together as a
    unit. … Thus, an ecosystem science definition entails an ecological community
    consisting of different populations of organisms that live together in a particular
    habitat.

  9. Ecosystems are cyclical; loops. Everything in
    the community contributes or gives freely and
    that allows every other thing to exist and
    grow.
