What do you mean by Ecology ? Give the definition of ecology given by Odum and Mishra and interpreter them.
Answers
Answer:
The scientific study of the processes influencing the distribution and abundance of organisms, the interactions among organisms, and the interactions between organisms and the transformation and flux of energy and matter.
Explanation:
Our definition is unique in that it emphasizes several things:
# A starting focus on organisms, aggregations of organisms, or systems incorporating organisms or their by-products.
# The bounding of ecology by both the biological and physical sciences
The breadth of subject matters within ecology.
# The joint consideration of both biotic and abiotic aspects of nature.
# Depending on the ecological specialty, the focus can be on different proportions of biotic or abiotic aspects of nature .
# The relationships between organisms and the physical world can be bidirectional, although different specialties may emphasize the effect of the organisms (and systems containing them) on the physical world, or the effect of the physical world on the organisms.
# The boundary between the abiotic and the biotic aspects of ecology is blurry.
# The disciplinary focus is on "processes", "interactions" and "relations" rather than on the physical entities per se.
Ecology means the relationship between living-things and the surroundings and the study of this subject.
