Ecology, as a component of Organic Chemistry within the Science/Mathematics hierarchy, is a branch of biology concerned with the interrelationships between living organisms and their physical environment. It explores how various species interact with each other and the natural world around them, often integrating principles from both mathematics (for modeling population dynamics) and chemistry (particularly organic chemistry, in understanding the chemical cycles and processes that sustain ecosystems). Ecology encompasses diverse topics such as population ecology, community ecology, and ecosystem ecology, providing a holistic perspective on the functioning of natural systems.
