Ecology
The study of interrelationships of organisms to their environment (or surroundings). Ecology considers individual organisms, populations, and communities, as well as large units of landscape such as forests, estuaries and river basins. For an EIA, the ecosystem can be considered to be an appropriate unit of analysis concerned with a community and its environment, both living and non-living (e.g. fish community of a lake and lake pH).

Ecology
The study of interacting populations of different species. The term comes from biology and was originally used in investigations of the dynamic effects of food chains and cycles (of species feeding on each other or using common resources and thereby mutually determine their relative size). The inclusion of human beings and the generalization of the notion of species to include species of man-made objects has made ecology the study of complex interactions in the terrestrial environment of man (see ecosphere, eco system ). Typical forms of interactions among species are cooperation, parasitism, predation, competition, dominance, independence , succession. An important task of ecology is to investigate the conditions under which population sizes are in equilibrium. With the inclusion of human technology into ecological equations, an important problem of ecology is to predict environmental changes and to evaluate the effects different corrective measures may have on short range and long range ecological balances (see externalities ). (Krippendorff )
The proportion of benefits to costs, the relationship between a level of performance and the resources expended to achieve this level. (Krippendorff )

Ecology
Ecology (also known as Oekologie, Okology, or Oekology,from Greek: οίκος, oikos, "household"; and λόγος, logos, "knowledge") is the scientific study of systems of living organisms and the interactions among organisms and between the organisms and their environment. The environment of an organism includes both physical properties, which can be described as the sum of local abiotic factors such as insolation (sunlight), climate, and geology, and biotic factors, which are other organisms that share its habitat.
