Aerial ecosystems

An aerial ecosystem is a community of living organisms together with the non-living components of their airborne environment, interacting as a system. An ecosystem can be any size, but they are usually limited to a few species.

These biotic and abiotic components are recognized for relating together through the cycles of nutrients and energy flows. An ecosystem is defined by the chain of interactions between organisms, and between organisms and their environment.

In the case of aerial ecosystems, the organisms that comprise it can make life in the air. An advantage of this means is that it has few predators, has no obstacles to mobilize and is easily located to prey.
