    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.
