Ecology is the study of interactions between organisms and their environment. It's a broad field, spanning biology, engineering, policy, and environmental management. There are numerous ecology ...

This integrative study area allows students to investigate the relationships of organisms to their environment and those factors that affect their distribution and abundance. Both the practical and ...

Pt. 1: Context. The ecosystem concept. Earth's climate system -- Pt. 2: Mechanisms. Terrestrial water and energy balance. Carbon input to terrestrial ecosystems. Terrestrial production processes.

This area entails study and maintenance of biological diversity at the level of genes, populations, communities, ecosystems and biomes; intellectual underpinnings include evolutionary theory, ...

In light of these pressing global ecological challenges, there is a compelling need to develop ecological theories and applied technologies for understanding, managing, and conserving macroecological ...

Some make you sick, while others help keep you healthy. But microbes' influence stretches far beyond human bodies. These astonishingly complex organisms regulate the health of forests, oceans and ...

Forests and streams are separate but linked ecosystems, existing side by side, with energy and nutrients crossing their porous borders and flowing back and forth between them. For example, leaves fall ...

Many of today's artificial intelligence systems loosely mimic the human brain. In a new paper, researchers suggest that another branch of biology -- ecology -- could inspire a whole new generation of ...

Odum considered one of his most important contributions, perhaps the one for which he is best known, the book entitled Fundamentals of Ecology. Although Sir Arthur C. Tansley first proposed the term ...

Ecology publishes articles that report on the basic elements of ecological research. Emphasis is placed on concise, clear articles documenting important ecological phenomena. The journal publishes a ...
