What is Ecology? ecology: the study of the relation of organisms or groups of organisms to each other and to their environment. Ecology From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ernst HaeckelErnst Haeckel coined the term oekologie in 1866. Ecology, or ecological science, is the scientific study of the distribution and abundance of living organisms and how these properties are affected by interactions between the organisms and their environment. The environment of an organism includes both the physical properties, which can be described as the sum of local abiotic factors like solar insolation, climate and geology, as well as the other organisms that share its habitat. The term oekologie was coined in 1866 by the German biologist Ernst Haeckel; the word is derived from the Greek οικος (oikos, "household") and λόγος (logos, "study"); therefore "ecology" means the "study of the household [of nature]".living organismsinteractionsenvironment abioticsolarinsolationclimategeologyhabitat1866Ernst HaeckelGreek
