The term for the study of the interactions between living organisms and their environment is ecology. Ecology examines how organisms relate to one another and to their physical surroundings, encompassing aspects such as ecosystems, food webs, and biodiversity. It investigates the distribution and abundance of organisms, the flow of energy and nutrients through ecosystems, and the impact of human activities on natural habitats. Ecologists utilize various methodologies to study these complex relationships, contributing to our understanding of environmental conservation and the ways to maintain ecological balance. This field is essential for addressing ecological challenges like climate change and habitat destruction.
