Environmental Biology

Environmental Biology is the study of organism’s interaction with the environment, and how they adapt to changing environments. It explores the interconnections among biology, ecology, evolution, and conservation. Environments consist of many components including both physical features, such as climate and soil type, and biological features, such as prey and predators. The term environmental biology has wider connotations than ecology because it includes the study of humans in the environment, so you will find such subjects as agriculture, pollution and the unnatural surroundings. Understanding the ecology of an area is like trying to put together a gigantic, multidimensional jigsaw. Some pieces are the individual species in the area.
