Understanding Ecosystems

Reciprocal relationship between living things with other living beings, and with no living things in their environment, creating ecosystems. The study of ecosystems is ecology. Ecology comes from two Greek words, namely Oikos and logos. Oikos means house or place to live, and logos meaning science. The term ecology was first proposed by Ernst Haeckel (1834 to 1914). 

Ecology is a branch of science that is still relatively new, emerging in the 70s. However, ecologists have a major influence on other branches of biology. Ecology study how living things can defend life by making connections between living things and inanimate objects in the place of his life or the environment. Ecologists study the following things. 1. Transfer of energy and material from one living thing to another living creature, and into the environment and the factors that cause it. 2. Changes in populations of a species at different times and the factors that cause it. 3. Occurrence of the relationship between species (interaction between species) of living things and the relationship between living creatures with their environment. 4. The components that make up the environment can be divided into components abiotic (nonliving things) and biotic (living things). To learn it, check out the following sections. 5. Reciprocal relationship between living things with their environment to form ecosystems. Constituent components of the ecosystem consisting of abiotic and biotic.
