DEVELOPMENT, DEPARTMENTS AND METHODS OF ECOLOGY
Keywords:
Ecology is the scientific study of the relationships between organisms and their environment. It encompasses a wide range of topics, from the interactions between individual organisms to the dynamics of entire ecosystems. The development, departments, and methods of ecology have evolved over time to address the complex and interconnected nature of ecological systems.[1]Abstract
Ecology is the scientific study of the relationships between living organisms and their environment. It encompasses the interactions between organisms, the physical and chemical factors that influence their survival and reproduction, and the flow of energy and nutrients through ecosystems. Ecologists study a wide range of topics, including population dynamics, community structure, ecosystem processes, biodiversity patterns, and the impacts of human activities on natural systems. In this article development, departments and methods of ecology are discussed in detail.
