An ecosystem（生态系统） holds all the living and non-living things in an area.Ecosystems can be of different sizes（尺寸），from small ponds to large grasslands.Each ecosystem is important and helps keep the balance between all its members and the greater environment（环境）.
The ocean is a very large ecosystem on the earth（地球）.It covers about 71% of the earth's surface and produces about 70% of the earth's oxygen.It holds plenty of salt water，and the water rises to the sky，falls onto the lands and then returns to the ocean.This goes on and on，so the ocean is just like the"heart" of the earth.
Wetlands（湿地） only cover about 6% of the earth's land area.But they are home to about 40% of the world's plants and animals.Plants in wetlands help make the water clean.Wetlands can also help stop floods（洪水）.During heavy rains，wetlands store water like huge sponges（海绵）.They act like the"kidneys（肾脏）"of the earth.
Forests make up nearly 33% of the earth's land area.Plants there take in carbon dioxide from the air and produce oxygen.They also trap pollution in their leaves and help clean the air，So people often call forests the "lungs" of the earth.
Each of these ecosystems supports millions of plants and animals.They keep the earth healthy and make our world a better place.
