An ecosystem is defined as a community of plants, animals, and microorganisms that are linked by energy and nutrient flows. The other answer choices refer to specific aspects of an ecosystem, such as biomass (the total mass of living matter in a given area), riparian zone (the interface between land and a river or stream), xerophyte (a plant adapted to living in dry conditions), and ecotone (the transition zone between two different communities or ecosystems).
