What is Ecology? The study of how organisms interact within
their environment. Interdependancy of Ecolgy: The interaction of

Etc.

Biodiversity : Biological diversity is the variety and
variability among living organisms and the ecological complexes in
which they occur. Biodiversity comprises ecological, organismal and
genetic components.

that was a thousand times higher than the average rate during the
preceding 65 million years. Effects the ecosystem Climatic Changes
