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 most difficult, these levels are in the following order:
- Organism: A living being that can act or function independently is referred to as an organism.
- Population: A population is a group of creatures belonging to the same species that coexist in the same area and communicate with one another.
- Community: All the populations of numerous species that live in the same area and interact make up a community.
- Ecosystem: An ecosystem is made up of all of the living things (all populations) in a certain area as well as the inanimate elements of the surrounding environment.
- Biome: The terrestrial element of the biosphere is split up into enormous regions known as biomes. Climate, flora, animal life, and the general kind of soil are used to identify biomes.
- Biosphere: The region on earth where life can exist and flourish is called the biosphere. It is the area of the planet that is capable of supporting life.
