Ecology is the study of interrelationship between living organisms and their environment. Life and environment are interdependent. The plant and animal life is effected by various environmental factors and in turn they modify their environment in various ways. The main theme of ecological studies is the relationship between organisms and environment‚ so ecology may well be called as "Environmental Biology." Growth‚ development and destruction of all organisms is determined by physical and biological

understory of the forest‚ leaving behind fertile ash that will later become the means for new growth. Because of the destruction the fire leaves behind‚ many people have been deceived by the appearance of what is left instead of looking to see that the ecosystem depends on this "destruction" to grow new life. For example many sub-species of pine trees need the extreme heat of the fire to melt the wax on their cones to let their seeds fall on to the ground so they may grow into trees later in life. Another

and other living things. The value of many species cannot be predicted. Many plants may contain chemicals that could prove useful in treating illnesses‚ among other things. Also‚ the extinction of any species can disturb the equilibrium of an ecosystem. So‚ basically‚ we should understand that all of our actions have effects on other organisms and the environment. Well I hope this convinced you that studying biology is a very important skill to have and that it has cleared up any questions

Introduction:- The etymological term "environment" does not only only consists of place and surroundings which shape the human individual but it also has varied ranges of flora and fauna as well as several biotic and abiotic components of an ecosystem in its fold .The word "scope" means coverage ‚ end aimed at purpose ‚ intention‚ outlook‚ purview and sphere of observation. For scope of environment sky is its limit and ocean is its depth. As cited in Rig Veda "sky is like father earth is like

conditions. This is the case of protected areas (parks and oasis): the survival of the delicate ecosystems of these areas mainly depends on the fact that the soil keeps in good conditions and does not experience changes. For example‚ in the past men considered wet areas as unhealthy areas to be reclaimed and used for agriculture. Today wet areas are considered as very important and fragile ecosystems‚ whose survival can be guaranteed only by preserving the particular conditions of their soil. Soil

When forests are damaged by human activities‚ the ecosystems will be broken down‚ and animals cannot find foods supply and place to live. Consequently‚ preserving forests is not only helpful to human‚ but also keeps the variety of animals in the natural life. Finally‚ there is no doubt that forests have

Ecosystem Components The Tarkine rainforest is located off Australia‚ on an island known as Tasmania. The Tarkine rainforest is the second largest temperate rainforest in the world. Temperate rainforests are extremely rare. It runs continuous for more than 70 kilometers and contains the Rapid‚ Keith‚ Donaldson‚ and Savage River systems. Globally‚ this is one of the most significant rainforests‚ which is temperate‚ left of the plant. The Tarkine rainforest contains three out four of Tasmania’s
