The basic definition is, a community of organisms and species, together with their physical environment, which functions as a unit. Note that this does not mean that this unit is ideal or functions perfectly; however, it is pretty inclusive. All the organisms which interact with each other and the environment of an area are part of an ecosystem, and the nature of the environment (i.e. wet/dry, hot/cold, forested/barren/etc.), the exact composition of species populations, and the nature of the interactions are what define an ecosystem.
