Deep Ecology/Ecosophy The ideas behind deep ecology have major implications today. They allow people to think more profoundly about the environment and possibly come to a better understanding of their own meaning.

Ecology #1 1- Define abiotic and biotic components of the environment. Natural environment includes all the living and non-living components occurring naturally on Earth. The biological components of the ecosystem that is the biotic components interact with the physical entities (abiotic components). The scientific study of the interaction of biotic community with each other and with abiotic components is known as Ecology. Abiotic Components The abiotic components are also known as the abiotic

1. Define ecology. Identify the two features of organisms studied by ecologists. Ecology is the scientific study of the interactions between organisms and the environment‚ which in turn determine both the distribution of organisms and their abundance. Ecologists study how interactions between organisms and the environment affect phenomena such as the number of species living in a particular area‚ cycling of nutrients in a habitat‚ and the growth of populations. 2. Describe the relationship between

Population ecology is the branch of ecology that studies the structure and dynamics of populations. In population ecology a population is a group of individuals of the same species inhabiting the same area. In contrast to genetics‚ where the population is a group of interbreeding individuals of the same species‚ which is isolated from other groups and in human demography‚ the population is the set of humans in a given area. Population density is a common biological measurement and is often used

class and first heard the term‚ “deep ecology‚” I thought that it was simply referring to being environmentally friendly‚ saving paper and the whole “going green” movement. However‚ I now know that what I was thinking of is considered “shallow ecology‚” according to Arnie Naas. I wasn’t completely off in my thinking because shallow ecology is an aspect of deep ecology‚ however it is only a very thin layer. There is really no simple definition for deep ecology because it is such a vast idea. Nevertheless
