Ecology studies the relationships between organisms and their environment — how energy flows through food webs, how nutrients cycle, how species depend on each other, and how human activity reshapes those connections. The posts collected under this tag cover ecosystems large and small, from coral reefs and rainforests to the microbial communities living inside us, plus the conservation questions raised when those systems come under pressure.
