Homeostasis is a state of relative constancy vital to the survival of organisms. Ecosystem homeostasis is the result of the interaction of the biotic and abiotic factors. In ecosystems, changes in biotic and abiotic conditions lead to a cascade of effects, but the systems tend to return to normal over time. The ability to resist change is called resilience.
