The Father of ecology is Alexander Von humboldt.
Types of ecology

organismal ecology
population ecology
community ecology

Ecosystem is defined as ecological system Where are living and nonliving factor of environment interact with each other with their own component.
Non -Living factor are abiotic and living factor are called biotic component
biotic and abiotic component of ecosystem form the basic structure of ecosystem.
abiotic component
According to E.P.O dum in 1971 abiotic component are grouped in three categories
- inorganic nutrients :k Mg Ca N P
- organic compound: protein carbohydrates lipids
- climatic factor; light tempertaure wind rainfall
Biotic component:
Autotrophic component: it mean self nourshing. the living who produce their food by themselves they are also known as primary producers .
there are two type
- .phototrophs
- chemotrophs
phototrophs like green plant make their food by photosynthesis.
chemotrophs make their food by Chemosynthesis where energy is derived form oxidation reduction or redox reaction.
Heterotrophic component :
the living organism depends upon autotrophs component for their survival.
On the basis of consuming food crops are grouped in three categories
- Holozonic organisms consume their food through mouth like herbs eater such as goat cow etc flesh eater ..crow lion tiger
- Saprophytes such organism it take their food from dead and decaying tissue of plants and animals
- parasite the organism will depend upon other organisms for their nutrition like fungi
- The saprophytes and the parasites are the micro consumer and they are also known as decomposer Transformers Cosmo crops reducer saprotrophs
