Ecological studies focus on understanding the interactions between organisms and their environment. This area of research examines how organisms are influenced by abiotic (non-living) factors such as climate, soil, and water, as well as biotic (living) factors such as other organisms and competition for resources. Ecological studies can be conducted at various scales, from individual organisms to entire ecosystems, and can involve both observational and experimental approaches. This field of study is critical for understanding and managing ecosystems, biodiversity, and the impacts of human activities on the natural world.
