Introduction to Biology
Living things have several key characteristics:
1. They are made of cells, the basic units of life.
2. They obtain and use energy. Autotrophs like plants make their own food through photosynthesis, while heterotrophs like animals consume other organisms for food.
3. They grow, develop, and reproduce. Multicellular organisms grow by adding more cells through mitosis and development, while both unicellular and multicellular organisms reproduce sexually or asexually.
What is biology and Why study biology?
Biology is the study of living things, life processes, habitats, interactions, history and future of life. It examines all kingdoms including animals, plants, fungi, protists, eubacteria and archaebacteria. Studying biology is important because living things are interdependent and human existence relies on other organisms. Understanding biology has allowed humans to develop agriculture, solve medical problems, and be curious about their place in the world. Continued discovery will provide knowledge to improve lives and ensure a healthy future for our planet.
Chapter 1 Introduction to Biology

Key topics in ecology include organismal adaptations, population dynamics, species interactions within communities, and energy and nutrient flows within ecosystems. Ecology provides important insights for conservation and sustainable use of natural resources.
Introduction to ecology
Ecology is the scientific study of organisms `at home' which is called as the `environment'. The term `environment' refers to those parts of the world or the total set of circumstances which surround an organism or a group of organisms.
Ecology .pdf
Ecology is the study of the relationships between living organisms and their environment. It considers organisms at individual, population, community, ecosystem, and biosphere levels. The term "ecology" was coined by Ernst Haeckel in 1866 from the Greek words for "home" and "study." There are various types of ecology including global, landscape, ecosystem, community, population, and organismal ecology. Eugene Odum is considered the father of modern ecology. Ecology has practical applications in conservation, natural resource management, urban planning, and human social interaction.
Ecology definition & scope
Ecology is the study of living organisms and their interactions with each other and their environments. It has many branches that study specific areas like behavior, physiology, evolution, ecosystems, populations, communities, and landscapes. Key branches also include conservation biology, restoration ecology, ecotoxicology, and molecular ecology. Solving ecological problems requires considering biotic factors like competition, quantitative factors like population sizes, climatic factors like temperature and chemistry, taxonomy, and genetic/evolutionary aspects. Ecology blends aspects of other biological sciences to study the complex relationships between organisms and their environments.

The degradation of the environment is becoming a serious problem for the existence of human beings and other life. Pollution of soil, water and air causes harm to living organisms as well as loss to valuable natural resources. Several important aspects are studied under the field called as Environmental Studies.
Nature and scope
1) Environmental studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the interactions between humans and their natural and social surroundings. It has become increasingly important due to growing environmental issues like pollution, climate change, and depletion of natural resources.
2) The environment consists of both living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) components that interact in complex ways. It includes the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere. Environmental studies considers the physical, biological, social, cultural, economic, and political factors that make up these systems.

Ecology has many subdisciplines that examine specific types of interactions like population ecology, behavioral ecology, and conservation ecology. Ecosystems are dynamic entities composed of biological communities that interact with their abiotic environments. Changes to one part of an ecosystem can cascade through other components due to their interconnected relationships. Ecology plays an important role in fields like agriculture, forestry, fisheries management, and conservation efforts.
Ecology -Components, interelatioships & dynamism
The document discusses key concepts in plant ecology, including levels of ecological organization and interrelationships between living organisms and their environment. It covers basic concepts like populations, communities, ecosystems, and biomes. It also describes how ecosystems are dynamic due to living things changing over time in response to transformations in populations. When a population changes significantly, it affects the entire ecosystem.

This presentation was provided by Steph Pollock of The American Psychological Association’s Journals Program, and Damita Snow, of The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), for the initial session of NISO's 2024 Training Series "DEIA in the Scholarly Landscape." Session One: 'Setting Expectations: a DEIA Primer,' was held June 6, 2024.LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
