Ecology Ecology is the study of interactions between organisms and the living and non-living components of their environment.

are living between pH6 and pH9. Slaters share their habitat with centipedes‚ spiders‚ earthworms‚ etc. They have predators such as small birds and spiders. Slaters usually feed on dead plant material‚ fungi‚ and organic matter in soil so they are omnivores and scavengers. The densities of slaters have usually expressed in numbers per square meter and may be very high. The density shows a sharp increase on release of the young‚ then followed by a rapid decline as these young meet an early end.
