Ecology: The study of living things in relation to each other and their non-living environment.
Biosphere: All parts of Earth where life exists, including soil, water, and air.
Element Cycle: The process describing how essential elements, such as nitrogen and carbon, move between organisms and their environment.
Ecology studies the interactions between living organisms and their non-living environment. It encompasses how organisms relate to each other and to the physical surroundings they inhabit. The biosphere includes all parts of Earth where life exists, covering soil, water, and air. Element cycles, such as nitrogen and carbon cycles, explain how vital elements are transferred and recycled between living organisms and the environment, maintaining ecological balance.
Understanding ecology provides the foundational framework for studying life and environmental interactions on Earth.
Community
A community consists of all interacting populations in a given environment. It includes every species that lives and interacts within a specific area.
