In ecology, the levels of organization are generally considered to

refer to the following:

1. Biosphere - This is where all living things on Earth live. Humans
live in a biosphere
2. Biomes - A large naturally occurring community of flora and
fauna occupying a major habitat.
3. Ecosystem - A biological community of interacting organisms and
their physical environment.
4. Community - All the organisms living in a particular area or
place: "local communities".
5. Populations - A particular section, group, or type of people or
animals living in an area or country.
6. Organism - by itself. Duh
The Four Laws of Ecology
Formulated by physicist and ecologist, Barry Commoner.
1) Everything is connected to everything else - humans and other
species are connected/dependant on a number of other species.
2) Everything must go somewhere - no matter what you do, and no
matter what you use, it has to go somewhere. For example, when you
burn wood, it doesn't disappear, it turns into smoke which rises into
the air, and ash, which falls back down to the earth.
3) Nature knows best - Like it says, nature knows best. As much as
you think it might help a place by repainting it, you are submitting
the fumes into the air and into your lungs. Why not put siding on it?
4) There is no such thing as a free lunch - Everything you do, must
have a reson behind it. For example, a class pizza party. In order to
win the party, you have to fill out a survey, and submit it back to
your teacher. This law basically means you have to do something in
order to get something in return.
