Ecology – Life on the Earth

Ecology is the study of the earth as a ‘household’, or ‘household’. It is supposed to include plants, animals and microorganisms.

They all live together as interdependent components. Ecology can be described as one of the largest sciences that tries to understand complex nature of the world.

Ecology is the study or” the earth as a ‘household’, of plants, human beings, animals and micro-organisms. They all live together as interdependent components.

ecological systems- The interactions of a particular group of organisms with abiotic factors within a particular habitat resulting in clearly defined energy flows and material cycles on land, water and air.

Ecosystems are dynamically interacting systems of organisms, the communities they make up, and the non-living components of their environment.

Ecosystem processes, such as primary production, nutrient cycling, and niche construction, regulate the flux of energy and matter through an environment.

Ecosystems have biophysical feedback mechanisms that moderate processes acting on living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) components of the planet.

Ecosystems sustain life-supporting functions and provide ecosystem services like biomass production (food, fuel, fiber, and medicine), the regulation of climate, global biogeochemical cycles, water filtration, soil formation, erosion control, flood protection, and many other natural features of scientific, historical, economic, or intrinsic value.
