Study of Tissues is Histology.

Study of Cells is cytology.

Study of birds is called ornithologist.

Just as a bear learns where to find berries in the summer and some birds journey thousands of miles to their seasonal feeding grounds, people in every region of the world have studied the natural rhythms of their local environments.

What time do the fish swim into the mouths of rivers? Where do nut bearing trees grow best?What is the best way to harvest raspberries? like this understanding the environment is called ecology.

Ecology means study of organism and their environment. Either they may be tiny organism or huge creatures.

Ecology is the study of environment. ECO means environment logy means study.

Because eco = Environment and logy means field of scientific study.

Ecology is extensively supported with the study of food pyramids. It helps in highlighting the bonds existing in an ecosystem (ecosystem is derived from the Greek word 'oikos' meaning house;environment). Food pyramids are of two types -food pyramid of biomass and food pyramid of population;numbers.

Ecology:

Ecology addresses the full scale of life, from tiny bacteria to processes that span the entire planet. Ecologists study many diverse and complex relations among species, such as predation and pollination. The diversity of life is organized into different habitats, from terrestrial (middle) to aquatic ecosystems.

Ecology is the scientific study of interactions among organisms and their environment, such as the interactions organisms have with each other and with their abiotic environment. Topics of interest to ecologists include the diversity, distribution, amount (biomass), number (population) of organisms, as well as competition between them within and among ecosystems.

Ecosystems are composed of dynamically interacting parts including organisms, the communities they make up, and the non-living components of their environment. Ecosystem processes, such as primary production, pedogenesis, nutrient cycling, and various niche construction activities, regulate the flux of energy and matter through an environment. These processes are sustained by organisms with specific life history traits, and the variety of organisms is called biodiversity. Biodiversity, which refers to the varieties of species, genes, and ecosystems, enhances certain ecosystem services.

Because it deals with the relation between living beings and the environment. Also ECO=ENVIRONMENT and LOGY=study.

It is an surroundings known as eco and logy is a study.
