Environment: A Psychological Survey of Perspectives Literal‚ Wide‚ and Deep." - Never‚ no never‚ did Nature say one thing and Wisdom another. – Edmund Burke The glossary that follows assumes a definition of ecology--the study of interactions between organisms and their environment--much wider than what fits under the field’s habitual statistical mask. Ecofeminism and ecopsychology are mentioned‚ for example‚ as are terms from organic gardening and permaculture. Because the life sciences messily overlap

things or organisms provide each other with substances necessary for life‚ and a proper balance between plants and animals is needed to maintain life (1‚ p.246d). AEcology is the study of interrelationships of organisms to one another and to the environment@ (2‚ p.121). AThe word AEcology@ comes from the Greek words Oikos - house‚ and Logos - the way a subject is spoken about or treated. Ecology is a subject that tells about the Ahouses@ of living things‚ in other words the study of how organisms interact

Abstract: : The purpose of studying the biological organisms in the Mpenjati estuary-beach system is to distinguish between organisms and estimate diversity within the estuary found at different locations along the estuary-beach profile in accordance with factors affecting the daily routines of these marine life and other aspects in which these organisms concur with. The organisms found in these waters play an important role in the ecosystems they function in therefore it is imperative to seek a
