Ernst Haeckel developed the term ecology to denote the study of organisms' interactions with their surroundings.
- Both the living and non-living parts of the natural universe are emphasized in the standard Haeckelian formulation.
- However, it emphasizes that organisms are the most essential representation of the biotic world, indicating the age of the planet.
- Microbes, the chemical outputs of organisms in the environment, and ecological processes at bigger dimensions or higher hierarchical levels than species were all overlooked in the mid-nineteenth century's essentially macroscopic view of the world.
