The correct answer is Option (2) - Garden A garden is an example of an artificial ecosystem. It is created and maintained by humans for various purposes such as aesthetic enjoyment, food production, or habitat for specific plants and animals. In a garden, humans intervene in the natural processes by selecting and planting specific species of plants, controlling pests, providing water and nutrients, and shaping the landscape according to their preferences. This manipulation of the environment distinguishes it from natural ecosystems, making it artificial or human-made. Despite being artificial, gardens can support a diverse range of life and contribute to biodiversity conservation and environmental education. |
