Ecology is a branch of
Biological Science that studies ecosystems. Have different levels of
organization that are ordered increasingly: Guy - species - population -
community - ecosystem - Biome - biosphere.
1 - Guy
it
is every living being present in nature. An individual is a horse, a tree, a
carnation, a man or bacteria.
2 - Kind
Are individuals interbreed and leave fertile offspring, as humans, cattle or
willows. There are cases where two individuals of different species can
reproduce, but their offspring are infertile.
3 - Population
Set of individuals living at the same time in the same place, are interrelated
and belong to the same species.
4 - Community
It
is the set of populations that live together in one place. That's why there is
a community in many plant and animal species. The community is also called the
biocenosis.
5 - Biome
It is a
group of ecosystems with some similar features concerning the uniform climate
and vegetation. In other words, a biome is a large area unit that encompasses
many ecosystems that develop under the same climate, and can be identified by
their uniform vegetation. It should be noted that a specific atmosphere is
accompanied by characteristic vegetation.
6 - Biosphere
It
is the part of the earth (water, air and soil) where conditions for life to
develop there. Or biosphere the biosphere is represented by all plants,
animals, fungi and microorganisms that inhabit the planet. It extends from the
deep ocean to a height in the atmosphere of about six kilometers from the level
sea.
