    Study Notes

    What is Ecology?

    • Ecology is the study of the relationships between organisms and their environment.

    Levels of Ecology

    • Ecology considers organisms at multiple levels, including:
      • Individual organisms
      • Population (group of individuals of the same species)
      • Community (group of populations of different species)
      • Ecosystem (community of organisms and their environment)
      • Landscape (group of ecosystems)
      • Biosphere (all ecosystems on Earth)

    Overlapping Sciences

    • Ecology overlaps with other sciences, including:
      • Biology (study of living organisms)
      • Chemistry (study of chemical composition and reactions)
      • Physics (study of energy and matter)
      • Geology (study of Earth's physical structure and composition)
      • Meteorology (study of weather and climate)

    Wetland Management

    • The practical application of ecology in wetland management involves:
      • Understanding the complex relationships between organisms and their environment in wetland ecosystems
      • Managing wetlands to maintain biodiversity, water quality, and ecosystem services
      • Restoring degraded or damaged wetlands
      • Conserving and protecting wetland ecosystems

    Ecology and the Environment

    • Ecology encompasses the study of the environment, including:
      • Ecosystems (natural and managed)
      • Biodiversity (variety of species, genes, and ecosystems)
      • Ecosystem services (benefits provided by ecosystems, such as air and water purification)
      • Environmental conservation and sustainability
      • Human impact on the environment and ecosystem management
