An ecosystem is derived from an individual, who is part of a population, or species in an area. They make up a community, with multiple species. The only difference between ecosystems, and communities, is that ecosystems are composed of biotic and abiotic factors(living and nonliving factors). An exmple of an ecosystem is a tropical rainforest ecosystem. There are jungle creatures, and tropical plants there. Also, an abiotic factor there is a lot of water.

As go the elephants, so go the trees. That's the message of a new study published in the May 2013 issue of Forest Ecology and Management that found more than a dozen elephant-dependent tree species suffered catastrophic population declines in new plant growths after forest elephants were nearly extirpated from their ecosystems. The fruit-bearing trees all rely on forest elephants as their primary means of seed distribution, a process known as megafaunal dispersal syndrome.

The study was conducted in Salonga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a region where more than 98 percent of the forest elephants ( Loxodonta cyclotis) have been killed by poachers over the past few decades. "As an ecologist studying plant-animal interactions, I was really worried about elephant survival and the plants that had coexisted with them for a million years," says the paper's lead author, David Beaune, a research associate with the Biogeoscience Laboratory at the University of Burgundy in France and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany. "I started to assess the trees that required elephants for seed dispersal, and I became increasingly worried with time when I did not find any evidence of new growths. We decided then to study if those plant species were able to survive without their seed dispersal partner, the elephant."

Elephants, with their massive appetites, play two key roles for many of these trees. For one thing, forest elephants roam over large swaths of land, spreading seeds far and wide via their dung. For another, previous research has shown that seeds that have been softened by an elephant's stomach acids tend to germinate at a much faster rate than seeds that have not. This dual relationship allows fruit trees with no other dispersal partners to ensure reproduction.

The researchers conducted their study at the LuiKotale Research Site, where data on medicinal plants has been actively collected since 2002. They found that 18 different elephant-dependent tree species at that location had dropped in productivity; 14 of those species were not producing enough new trees for to replace the old ones as they die off, a process known as self-replacement.

The loss of these trees could have wide-ranging ecological effects. "These trees also feed many herbivores and frugivores such as bats, birds, insects and other mammals," Beaune says. "Consequently, the loss of these tree species can affect them." For example, chimpanzees and bonobos in certain forest areas rely on the fruit of one of the elephant-dependent trees, Irvingia gabonensis, for months at a time. (Bonobos also play an important seed-dispersal role, which Beaune and his fellow researchers are studying.)

Human populations could also suffer, Beaune says, as many of these trees have long been used for traditional medicine. "Local people have barely any access to Western medicine," he says. "They rely on traditional use of plants such as these trees that have not yet revealed all their secret molecules to modern science."

At least one of the tree species mentioned in the study, Autranella congolensis, is already listed as critically endangered due to habitat loss. Efforts could be taken to preserve and protect it and the other tree species, but would such efforts be effective if elephants are not part of the equation? "This is a big issue in conservation biology," Beaune says. "The protection of an area is useless if the ecological functionality is not maintained. In the case of Autranella congolensis, imagine a special reserve dedicated to their conservation which contains big, healthy adult trees and no elephants! The conservation plan could be severely compromised."

In their paper Beaune and his co-authors recommend that artificial nurseries be established to preserve some of these tree species as well as call for increased law enforcement to protect forest elephants and reintroduction programs to bring them back.

Elephants are about as charismatic as endangered megafauna get and therefore are an emotional issue for a lot of people. Plants rarely engender as much passion. Even if they did, it might not be enough. "Unfortunately the sole emotional value of a species hardly helps them to survive our strange era," Beaune says.

A little-noticed announcement by the U.S. Department of Interior in late 2015 reflects an emerging paradigm shift in natural resource conservation - and the role market-based solutions will play as the nation ramps up efforts to save America's imperiled species and landscapes.

The new initiative to launch a Natural Resource Investment Center comes as the federal government seeks to develop creative private-sector financing opportunities for environmental protection that will, in turn, spur economic development.

The center will tap markets to boost landscape-wide conservation efforts. It primarily will focus on water resources, but also seek private-sector investments to protect habitats on public and private lands.

Today's conservation programs fall short

Today, the bulk of mitigation for environmental impacts occurs through programs that allow industries to pay a fee, or through conservation projects that developers conduct themselves.

While many of these programs deliver environmental benefits, uneven accounting and a lack of public transparency make it uncertain whether the result is a "no net loss" of the natural resources affected.

But other solutions are emerging today that could deliver more conservation benefits and more accountability - and eventually help build the major ecosystem marketplace America needs. The first building blocks are already in place.

The ecosystem marketplace of tomorrow

Case in point: habitat exchanges that encourage farmers, ranchers and other landowners to create, maintain and improve wildlife habitat on their property, while earning financial credits for their efforts.

Habitat exchanges are unique from other programs in that they use the same scientific accounting tool to quantify both impacts and offsets. With more robust accounting and much-needed transparency, they seek to go one step farther and guarantee a net benefit to affected ecosystems.

Solutions are emerging today that could deliver more conservation benefits and more accountability - and eventually help build the major ecosystem marketplace America needs.

By offering a new revenue stream for landowners, and a faster and more standardized process for industry to move projects forward, habitat exchanges already have proven they can create a win for people, wildlife and the economy.

And as the nation begins to approach conservation in new ways, we think they are the right thing at the right time.

A new mindset for environmental protection

Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell, the former president and chief executive officer of outdoor equipment retailer REI and a former commercial banker, understands why the private sector is key to solving America's environmental challenges.

Her announcement in December came on the heels of President Barack Obama's new conservation strategy, and at a time when the federal government is increasingly looking to private investments to support conservation projects.

With more advanced tools and more attractive investment opportunities headed our way, this nation will begin to drive more dollars into the ecosystem marketplace and generate returns that benefit us all.
