The ecosystem present on land or soil is called terrestrial or lithosopheric ecosystem. Terrestrial ecosystem receives plenty of light and the soil provides ecosystem nutrients water, however is limited and very unevenly distributed both in place and in time.
Factors Affecting Life On Land:
Factors which influence life on land are given below:
a) Temperature: Like water, favourable temperatures are very unevenly distributed on land in place and time.
On poles, the average temperature is below freezing. While in temperature zones only during certain seasons of the year it is quite favourable but in tropic zones uniformly warm, moist climate is present.
b) Air: In terrestrial ecosystem air is in constant motion so its composition is more uniform. The amount of O2 and CO2 in air is much constant and most beneficial for terrestrial ecosystem.
