quantitative ecology
Quantitative ecology is the field of ecology that uses mathematical and statistical methods to study and understand the relationships between organisms and their environments. It involves collecting data on populations, ecosystems, and biodiversity, and then analyzing this data to identify patterns, trends, and key factors that influence ecological systems. By quantifying interactions and variations within ecosystems, researchers can make predictions, assess environmental impacts, and develop conservation strategies, ultimately contributing to the effective management and preservation of natural resources and wildlife.
