Study Notes

Ecology and Its Components

  • Ecology studies interactions among organisms and between them and their environment.
  • The biosphere encompasses all regions of Earth where life exists, including terrestrial, aquatic, and atmospheric zones.

Key Biological Terms

  • Species: A group of similar organisms capable of breeding and producing fertile offspring.
  • Population: Individuals of the same species residing in a specific area; examples include all dogs in a county or all people in a state.
  • Community: Various populations coexisting in a shared environment.

Environmental Structures

  • Ecosystem: Comprises all living organisms within a defined area along with their physical environment; includes specific environments like deserts, marine habitats, and coral reefs.
  • Biome: A collection of ecosystems characterized by similar climates and dominant organism types.

Environmental Factors

  • Biosphere: Encompasses all life forms and their physical surroundings.
  • Biotic Factors: All living elements of an environment that interact with organisms, relevant for ecological dynamics.
  • Abiotic Factors: Nonliving environmental components like sunlight, temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind, and water currents; crucial for shaping ecosystems.
  • Both biotic and abiotic factors collectively influence the characteristics of an environment.
