There is a size limit for ecosystems. An ecosystem is confined to the area that is available to it. For example, a forest could occupy all the land but once it nears a body of water, it can not continue expanding.

Also, if an organism becomes to prominent in an ecosystem, the amount of food available would deplete rapidly and species would being to die.

At present the upper end of ecosystem size is the whole Earth. As one example of this, rain forests and similar contribute oxygen to the entire atmosphere.

Proponents of "panspermia", who hold that life came to Earth from outer space, would extend this maximum ecosystem size much further.
