Question

Synecology is study of
A. Human environment of a place
B. Biotic environment of a place
C. Abiotic component of a place
D. Biotic community in relation to environment of a place

Answer 1

Hint: Ecology is the term of biology which commonly means the interactions of organisms and their environment (biotic and abiotic components). Ecology is basically concerned with four levels of biological organisations - organisms, populations, communities and biomes. It is further divided into three types: Autecology, Synecology (community ecology) and habitat ecology.

Complete Answer:
Synecology is defined as the study of the groups or the communities of organisms, their compositions, and their relationships with each other and their environment. It is also known as the Ecology of communities. It is further of three types - Population Ecology, Community Ecology, and Ecosystem Ecology.

Now let us collect information about given options :
- Human environment of a place: It is known as geography. It is defined as the study of places and the relationship of the environment with humans. It is also known as human ecology and involves the relation of climate, humidity and some other factors with humans.
- Biotic environment of a place: Hexicology is also known as organismal ecology. It is the ecological study concerning the respective organisms. It deals with the relationships of organisms with their surroundings and the other living creatures
- Abiotic component of a place: Abiotic components include climate , temperature and humidity. Study of abiotic factors is not included properly under ecology but is included under topography.
- Biotic community in relation to the environment of a place: Biotic community includes both plants and animals and synecology involves study of both plants and animals with that of the relation with the environment.

Hence the correct answer is option D.

Note: Synecology is the phenomenon of the interrelation of a variety of species in a community and their surroundings. Autecology is the division of ecology that describes the biological relationship between an individual organism or an individual species and with their environment.
