Chapter 50: An Introduction to Ecology and the Biosphere
 Concept 50.1  Ecology is the study of interactions between organisms and the environment	50.01
 Concept 50.2  Interactions between organisms and the environment limit the distribution of species	50.02
 Concept 50.3  Abiotic and biotic factors influence the structure and dynamics of aquatic biomes	50.03
 Concept 50.4  Climate largely determines the distribution and structure of terrestrial biomes	50.04
