13.1 Ecologists Study Relationships Notes Q KEY CONCEPT 1. Ecology is the study of the relationships among organisms and their environment. 2. Every ecosystem.

Ecology The study of how organisms interact with their environment.

Elements of Ecosystems  Biotic Factors: The living organisms in an ecosystem  plants, animals, fungi, etc.  Abiotic Factors: The non-living portions.

Ecosystems. Ecosystem – all the organisms in an area along with their environment (habitat) - includes biotic (living) and abiotic (nonliving) factors.
