Local ecology

Local ecology refers to the natural community of living organisms—plants, animals, fungi—and their physical environment in a specific area. It encompasses how these organisms interact with each other and their surroundings, such as soil, water, and climate. Local ecology influences the health of ecosystems, shaping biodiversity and resource availability. Understanding it helps us appreciate how different species coexist, adapt, and impact their environment, providing insights into maintaining ecological balance and supporting sustainable practices within a community.
