How do your interactions
with nonliving systems affect your
environment?

Explanation:

Interactions between different organisms are numerous and are usually described according to their positive (beneficial), negative or neutral effect on others.

The interactions between living things and their non living environment makes up a total ecosystem; understanding any one part of it requires knowledge of how that part interacts with the others. Ecosystems do not ‘collapse’ but do change in function, structure and composition over time due to natural or human disturbance (examples include the impact of drought, flooding, mowing and herbicides).
