Lesson 1 - Handout

Ecology is the study of the relationships among living organisms and their physical environment. An ecosystem refers to the collection of communities of organisms and the environment in which they live. It is a major structural and functional unit of ecology. An ecosystem's structure and function are related to energy flow and material cycling within the system and between the system and its environment.
