ECOLOGY

GREEN LIFE

ECOLOGY

 (from Greek: οἶκος, "house"; -λογία, "study of")

ECOLOGY is the scientific study of interactions among organisms and their environment,

such as the interactions organisms have with each other and with their abiotic enviroment.

Topics of interest to ecologist

1. distribution,

2. amount (biomass),

3. number (population) of organisms,

5. competition between organisms within and among ecosystems 

Levels of studying Ecology

Biosphere: The earth’s ecosystem interacting with the physical environment

as a whole to maintain a steady state system intermediate in the flow of energy between the high energy input of the sun and the thermal sink of space (merges with atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere…).

↓

Biome: Large scale areas of similar vegetation and climatic characteristics.

↓

Ecosystem: Set of organisms and abiotic components connected

by the exchange of matter and energy (forest, lake, coastal ocean).

↓

ECOLOGY

Community: Interacting populations which significantly affect each other’s distributions and abundance(intertidal, hot spring, wetland).↓

Population: Group of interacting and interbreeding organisms ↓

Cell/Organism → Organelle → Molecule → Atom
