Define ecology and describe various environmental factors with suitable examples

Ecology is the scientific study of the relationships between living organisms and their environment. It encompasses the interactions among organisms, as well as their interactions with the abiotic (non-living) components of their surroundings. Ecology is concerned with understanding how organisms adapt and respond to their environment, as well as the impact they have on their surroundings.
