Conclusion

Ecology is the study of how living and non-living things interact in the environment.

We break down ecology into hierarchal sections (Organism - Population - Community - Ecosystem - Biosphere)

Ecosystems are determined by the abiotic factors (which determine what organisms can survive in that environment)
