between ecosystem and ecology? Ecosystem is the physical system (an open system) in which the mutual interaction between biotic and aboitic component motored by the energy component is studied. While the Ecology is the science which study the interrelation between Abiotic (inorganic) and Biotic (organic) components as well as the interaction among the biotic component. To make it more clear‚ ecosystem is the fundamental unit of ecological study. Ecology vs Ecosystem Ecology and ecosystem are
