Ecosystems are dynamic. The ecosystem presents a broad diversity worldwide and utilizes diverse functionalities according to specific ecologic regions. Due to changeability and climatic diversity, these ecosystems go through significant adjustments, which are enhanced by the domestic uses it was subjected to. Undeniably, the ecosystem helps humanity in various forms by its structure and composition. The conservation of these ecosystemic services needs a better understanding of their nature. The focus of the research is to identify the ecosystems and to define their acceptable usage point. Characterization of ecosystem is not just important for the local population using it, but also for the preservation of biodiversity. The management and conservation of ecosystems need inventive and diverse techniques.
