Study of Systems Ecology

The branch of biology dedicated to studying in interactions between organisms and their environment, with a primary focus on both the biotic and abiotic components of the organisms' surroundings is called ecology. Ecology examines the distribution, biodiversity, biomass, and populations of organisms, while also delving into the dynamics of competition and cooperation among species. Ideas and principles from this field find practical application in various areas, including applied science, conservation biology, community health, wetland management, human social interaction, and city planning. Additionally, ecology is applied in natural resource management, including forestry, agriculture, and agroforestry. The field of ecology endeavours to elucidate the flow of energy and materials through living development of ecosystems and the distribution of biodiversity among organisms in their environment. This book explores all the important aspects of ecology in the present day scenario. It elucidates new techniques and their applications in a multidisciplinary approach.
