Ecosystem Studies
Ecosystem studies focus on understanding the interactions between living organisms and their environment. This includes examining how plants, animals, and microorganisms coexist and depend on each other for survival. Researchers analyze factors like climate, soil, and water quality to see how they affect biodiversity and ecosystem health.
These studies often involve fieldwork and data collection in various habitats, such as forests, wetlands, and oceans. By studying ecosystems, scientists can identify changes caused by human activities, such as pollution and deforestation, and develop strategies for conservation and sustainable management of natural resources.
