Ecology is the branch of biological science that studies the interactions between living organisms and their physical environment. This includes the relationships between individuals, populations, communities, and ecosystems, as well as the processes that influence the distribution and abundance of organisms. Ecology examines how organisms adapt to their environment, how they compete for resources, and how they interact with each other, including symbiotic relationships and predator-prey dynamics. The field encompasses various scales of study, from micro-ecological interactions at the level of individual species to macro-ecological patterns observed in global environments. Additionally, ecology is essential for understanding biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and the impacts of human activity on natural systems.
