Conclusion
From the observations done within a time-span of 45 minutes ,it is quite difficult to say accurately what the nature of the ecosystem is. But whatever in the analytical part say, we can conclude that the ecosystem we chosen was terrestrial though the soil was sandy . Being in coastal region , it was quite diverse while few fauna contributing it to the rest .Floral diversity and well balanced flow of abiotic components make the ecosystem healthy for sustaining life unless anthropogenic disturbance may take over in recent times.
