htm INTRODUCTION Ecology‚ the study of the relationship of plants and animals to their physical and biological environment. The physical environment includes light and heat or solar radiation‚ moisture‚ wind‚ oxygen‚ carbon dioxide‚ nutrients in soil‚ water‚ and atmosphere. The biological environment includes organisms of the same kind as well as other plants and animals. Because of the diverse approaches required to study organisms in their environment‚ ecology draws upon such fields as

Ecology is the scientific study of interactions among organisms and their environment‚ such as the interactions organisms have with each other and with their abiotic environment. Topics of interest to ecologists include the diversity‚ distribution‚ amount (biomass)‚ number (population) of organisms‚ as well as competition between them within and among ecosystems. Ecosystems are composed of dynamically interacting parts including organisms‚ thecommunities they make up‚ and the non-living components

In ecology‚ competition occurs between any organisms living in a mutual habitat. Competition can either be harmful or helpful to each organism‚ whether it is for food‚ water‚ shelter‚ etc. There are two basic types of competition: intraspecific competition or interspecific competition. Intraspecific competition is the competition that occurs between the individuals of the same species (T. Smith & R. Smith pg. 222). On the other hand‚ interspecific competition is the competition that occurs between

The Ecological system theory was develop by Urie Bronfenbrenner who believes that human development as being shaped by the interaction between an individual and his or her environment and surroundings - parents‚ friends‚ work‚ culture‚ school etc. The ecological system theory is grouped into three layers which are microsystem‚ mesosystem‚ exosystem‚ and macro system. The microsystem is the framework nearest to the individual and the one in which they have direct contact with home‚ school‚ childcare

Overview: Discovering Ecology Ecology is the scientific study of the interactions between organisms and the environment These interactions determine the distribution of organisms and their abundance Modern ecology includes observation and experimentation The Scope of Ecological Research Ecologists work at levels ranging from individual organisms to the planet Global Ecology The biosphere is the global ecosystem‚ the sum of all the planet’s ecosystems Global ecology examines the influence

1.History of ecology .Ecology as a science. Sub-disciplines of ecology. Economics and Ecology. Ecology appeared as a distinct field of science in the second part of the nineteenth century from a diversity of different areas‚ such as geography‚ plant physiology‚ taxonomy‚ and the theory of evolution. In 1893 two significant events happened. First‚ the book “Flower Ecology” by L.H. Pammel‚ was published. Secondly‚ the Madison Botanical Congress adopted the term "ecology" as denoting a new branch of

In its evolution‚ the internet has been greatly affected by emerging communication technologies such as online publishing software and communications technology. Consequently‚ these factors have led it to be promoted as the new public sphere in the way it has become a facilitator of public discussion and great social change. By Habermas’s definition‚ the public sphere is ‘a realm of our social life in which something approaching public opinion can be formed’ (Habermas‚ 1974‚ p. 49). This is particularly
