Study Notes
Components of the Environment in Nature and Ecology
- Environment encompasses physical, chemical, and biotic conditions that surround and influence living organisms.
- Favorable environmental conditions are necessary for sustaining life on Earth.
- The environment consists of two main components: abiotic (non-living) and biotic (living).
- Abiotic factors include physical (climatic), edaphic (soil nature), and chemical elements such as temperature, light, pressure, humidity, precipitation, wind, mineral elements of soil, and air composition.
- Some abiotic factors serve as resources (e.g., air, soil, water), while others act as regulatory factors (e.g., light, temperature, pressure).
- Biotic factors include all living organisms found in the environment.
- The environment plays a crucial role in the field of ecology.
- Ecology is the study of the relationships between organisms and their environment.
- The biosphere refers to the zone of life on Earth where organisms interact with the environment.
- Understanding the environment and its components is essential for understanding ecological processes.
- Environmental factors can both support and limit the distribution and abundance of organisms.
- Environmental factors also influence the behavior, physiology, and adaptation of organisms.
