Good question, in my view it should be an eco-chain or something along those lines. It is an ecosystem, because there are 1000's of these ecosystems within say the Savannah, the tropics, or the antarctic. This is why we call them ecosystems.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
