The Ecological Theater

The Ecological Theater is a metaphor describing how natural environments act like stages in a play, where different species perform their roles. Just as actors adapt their roles based on the set and script, organisms interact with their surroundings and each other, shaping and responding to ecological conditions. This concept highlights how ecosystems are dynamic, with each species influencing the "scene" and contributing to the overall "performance" of the natural world, emphasizing the interconnectedness and ongoing relationships that sustain life on Earth.
