    What does "Ecology" refer to?

    in Ecology and the Environment

    Posted

    I was writing an essay today about ecology, and realised that I didn't actually know what it meant. What sort of areas of science does is cover? Is classification of organisms included?

     

    Eco comes from the Greek word meaning Hearth. Cognates include Ecology and Economy. Seems that economists have forgotten this essential link to Earth systems in their dismal science.
