Q.What is Ecological Hierarchy ? Name the levels of Ecological hierarchy.

Ecological hierarchy is the sequence of increasingly complex levels of biological organisation studied in ecology.

Ecology studies the interactions of living organisms with each other and with their physical environment at several successively larger and more complex levels of organisation, together called the ecological hierarchy.

1. Organism: an individual living being, the basic unit of ecological study, showing adaptations that allow it to survive in its particular environment.
2. Population: a group of individuals of the same species living together in a particular geographic area at a given time, capable of interbreeding.
3. Community: all the different populations of various species that live and interact together in a given area, forming a biological community.
4. Ecosystem: a community of organisms together with the non-living (abiotic) physical environment (soil, water, climate) with which they interact, functioning as a unit through energy flow and nutrient cycling. …
