Study Notes
Environmental Science
- Interdisciplinary study incorporating biology, chemistry, geology, and more to understand environmental systems and human impact.
- Focuses on issues like climate change, pollution, and conservation to develop sustainable solutions.
Ecology
- Branch of biology concerned with the relationships between living organisms and their environment.
- Studies ecosystems, biodiversity, population dynamics, and the interactions among species.
Biodiversity
- Refers to the variety of life in a particular habitat or ecosystem, including species diversity, genetic diversity, and ecosystem diversity.
- Essential for ecosystem resilience and provides resources for food, medicine, and ecological stability.
Chemistry
- The branch of science dealing with the composition, structure, properties, and reactions of matter.
- Essential for understanding biochemical processes in living organisms and environmental interactions.
Environment
- Encompasses all living and non-living things occurring naturally on Earth, including air, water, soil, and ecosystems.
- Influences the health and survival of all organisms, highlighting the interplay between biological and physical elements.
