Thanks JeffreyGomez. However, I reverted your edit while changing the article back to its 12th August version because the inappropriate statements deleted some of article's content, so I just want to note that your edit wasn't vandalism. Bláthnaid 23:22, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Main Picture

Shouldn't the main picture for this article be something like a coral reef, since showing a picture of a mostly above land ecosystem might give the wrong idea about the subject of the article...? Cornellbob (talk) 22:50, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Use excerpts more?

I am wondering how other page watchers feel about this suggestion: I'd be inclined to replace some of the sections with excerpts, for example the ones on "marine ecosystem" and "freshwater ecosystem". This would reduce duplication of content and the need to maintain and update the same content on two different articles. I think for an overview article like this one, it could be useful to use the excerpt tool. Compare with the usage of excerpts for the article wastewater treatment which is also a high level overview article. EMsmile (talk) 01:39, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I have now replaced all the sections that were about sub-articles with the excerpts from those sub-articles (I moved content from here to the sub-articles and then replaced that with excerpts). I have also added links to other articles, e.g. the section on "threats" overlaps with the threats listed at ecosystem, freshwater ecosystem, marine ecosystem; so it's important to point people to the relevant other articles about the threats...

Remove "further reading" list?

I would be inclined the remove the "further reading" list as none of those publications strike me as particularly relevant. Almost all of them are about marine ecosystems (a subset), and rather specific. Comments? EMsmile (talk) 02:17, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have now removed the further reading list as there were no objections in 2 months. This is what the list looked like:
