Study Notes

Ecology and Ecosystems

Ecology is the scientific study of the interactions between organisms and their environment.
An ecosystem is a community of living and non-living things, such as plants, animals, microorganisms, water, sunlight, and soil, that interact with each other in a specific environment.
An ecosystem consists of biotic factors (living things) such as plants, animals, and microorganisms, and abiotic factors (non-living things) such as sunlight, water, temperature, and soil.
The main focus of ecology is to understand the relationships between organisms and their environment, and how they affect each other.

Biomes

Biomes are large, naturally occurring communities of plants and animals that occupy a specific habitat.
The fundamental classification of biomes includes:
- Terrestrial biomes (land-based ecosystems)
- Freshwater biomes (rivers, lakes, and wetlands)
- Marine biomes (oceans and seas)
- Atmospheric biomes (air and weather patterns)
Arctic is NOT a fundamental classification of biomes.
