		An ecosystem is a functional unit comprising all the organisms in a particular place interacting with one another and with their environment, and interconnected by an ongoing flow of energy and a cycling of materials.
		On an even smaller scale, vegetation units such as a mangrove forest ecosystem would be in the range of 10 square m to 100 square km.
		Other concerns about ecosystem function relate to the loss of stability of the ecosystem, even though it may be able to exist at alternative stable states; widespread structural change by humans, often made less noticeable by shifting baselines; and habitat destruction.
