    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.
