Field Biology

Field biology is the study of plants, animals, and ecosystems directly in their natural environments. It involves observing, collecting data, and analyzing living organisms and their relationships with each other and their surroundings. This hands-on approach helps scientists understand behaviors, how species interact, and how ecosystems function and change over time. Field biologists often work outdoors in diverse habitats such as forests, wetlands, and grasslands, using tools like microscopes, GPS devices, and sample containers to gather information. Their work is essential for conserving biodiversity, managing natural resources, and addressing environmental challenges.
