What Is Ecology? (1961)

The film discusses the importance of ecology, highlighting the interrelationships between living organisms and their environment. It illustrates how a farm family’s failure to understand these relationships led to land degradation and crop loss. The film explores various ecological interactions, such as predation, parasitism, mutualism, and commensalism. It emphasizes the flow of energy and matter in ecosystems, the concept of ecological succession, and the significance of biomes. Additionally, it presents a case study demonstrating the effects of land management practices on soil conservation and water runoff, underscoring the practical applications of ecological knowledge for sustainable land use.
