Ecology is a purely scientific discipline which aims to understand the relationships between organisms and their wider environment.
Ecology is very important and it enriches the world and is crucial for human wellbeing and prosperity. It provides new knowledge of the interdependence between people and nature that is vital for food production, maintaining clean air and water, and sustaining biodiversity in a changing climate.
The term environment denotes all the physical, chemical and biotic conditions surrounding and influencing a living organism. is classified into 3 types: Biotic (Biological), Abiotic (Physical), Cultural.
An organism is a self-reproducing system capable of growing and maintaining itself and is directly influenced by the surrounding environment. A population is an assemblage of similar organisms belonging to the same species, living together at one place at a given time. A population always lives a specific place known as its habitat. Habitat is thus the physical environment in which an organism lives.
