Environmental context refers to the physical, biological, and social factors that shape and influence the environment in which an organism or ecosystem exists. This includes things like climate, topography, vegetation, and other natural features, as well as human activities, such as agriculture, urbanization, and pollution. Environmental context plays a crucial role in determining the health and viability of ecosystems, as well as in shaping human interactions with the natural world. Researchers in this area study how environmental factors interact to create a complex and dynamic system, and how changes in the environment can impact both ecological and human systems. This research is important for informing conservation efforts, sustainable resource management, and policy decisions aimed at preserving and protecting the environment.
