Environment is the sum total of conditions in which an organism has to survive or maintain its life process. It influences the growth and development of living forms. In other words environment refers to those surroundings that surrounds living beings from all sides and affect their lives in toto.

The environment is something you are very familiar with. It's everything that makes up our surroundings and affects our ability to live on the earth—the air we breathe, the water that covers most of the earth's surface, the plants and animals around us, and much more.


The environment has three important constituents. These are:

(a) Physical
(b) Biological
(c) Social

1...The Physical Constituent of environment includes soil, water, air, climate, temperature, light etc. These are also called abiotic constituents of the environment.

These are:
(i) Atmosphere (gas)
(ii) Hydrosphere (liquid)
(iii) Lithosphere (solid)


2...The biological constituent of environment is also called biotic component of environment. This component consists of all living things like plants, animals and small micro-organisms like bacteria.


All ecosystems consist of three different types of living organisms.
These three types are named as:
(a) Producers
(b) Consumers
(c) Decomposers.


3..The social constituent of environment mainly consists of various groups of population of different living organisms like birds, animals etc.
