Hierarchy of Ecology
Every single living thing that exists in the natural world is a part of ecology. The ranking of these individuals is referred to as ecological hierarchy. In order to comprehend how organisms interact with their environments, ecology can be studied at a variety of levels. Beginning with the easiest level and working up to the…

Objectives of Ecology
An important goal of ecology is to understand how the biological elements of ecosystems interact and depend on each other. Additionally, it discusses how the biotic and abiotic components of ecosystems interact. The objectives of studying ecology are:
-
Abiotic Components
Abiotic factors are any chemical or physical elements that are not living & are found in the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. These elements have a substantial effect on the persistence and procreation of species within an environment. Autotrophic species, for instance, may not be able to exist without enough sunlight. Every organism is impacted by…

Biotic and Abiotic Factors
Environment is mainly divided into factors which are biotic and abiotic. Ecology is the study of interactions between living and non-living things. Biotic Components All of the organisms in the environment are affected by biotic factors. An ecosystem’s structure is impacted by its presence and the biological waste products they produce. All living things, including people, fungi,…

What is ecology?
The study of interactions between organisms and their environment is known as ecology. From the microscopic to the global scale, scientists have access to a wide range of lenses through which they can study the environment. We will learn more about these different forms of ecology in this article. Attention has been paid to the…
