Quantitative ecology is the application of advanced mathematical and statistics statistical tools to any number of problems in the field of ecology . It is a small but growing subfield in ecology, reflecting the demand among practicing ecologists to interpret ever larger and more complex data sets using quantitative reasoning. Quantitative ecologists might apply some combination of deterministic or stochastic mathematical models to theoretical questions or they might use sophisticated methods in applied statistics for experimental design and hypothesis testing . Typical problems in quantitative ecology include estimating the dynamics and status of wild populations, modeling the impacts of anthropogenic or climatic change on ecological communities, and predicting the spread of invasive species or disease outbreaks. Quantitative ecology, which mainly focuses on statistical and computational methods for addressing applied problems, is distinct from theoretical ecology which tends to explore focus on understanding the dynamics of simple mechanistic models and their implications for a general set of biological systems using mathematical arguments.

Wikify date April 2011 Soundscape ecology has sometimes been considered interchangeable with acoustic ecology , but it has a different and distinctive meaning. The problem with acoustic ecology is that the field of acoustics as defined within the discipline of physics, has almost nothing whatsoever to do with ecology. Soundscape ecology, on the other hand, focuses primarily on natural soundscapes consisting of biological and non biological natural acoustic sources within a landscape. It embraces both biophony sounds of biological origin and geophony sounds of geophysical origin , exclusively. ref Pijanowski, B., Villanueva Rivera, L. J., Dumyahn, S. L., Farina, A., Krause, B.

This article is about the scientific discipline, for the journal see Plant Ecology Plant ecology is a subdiscipline of ecology which studies the distribution and abundance ecology abundance of plant s, the interactions among and between members of plant species, and their interactions with their environment biophysical environment . Plant ecology has its roots both in plant geography and in studies of the interactions between individual plants and their environment. Broadly speaking, the scope of plant ecology encompasses plant ecophysiology , plant population ecology , community ecology , ecosystem ecology and landscapeecology . Most plant s are root ed in the soil , and often they Vegetative reproduction reproduce vegetatively in a way that makes it difficult to distinguish individual plants of the same species. These characteristic features of plants necessitate a somewhat different scientific methodology than used in e.g. ecology animal ecology , but the different subdiciplines of ecology is integrated in ecosystem ecology .

Organizational ecology also organizational demography and the population ecology of organizations is a theoretical and empirical approach in the social sciences that is especially used in organizational studies . Organizational ecology utilizes insights from biology , economics , and sociology , and employs statistical analysis to try and understand the conditions under which organizations emerge, grow, and die. Introduction to organizational ecology Introduced in 1977 by Michael T. Hannan and the late John H. Freeman in their American Journal of Sociology piece The population ecology of organizations and later refined in their 1989 book Organizational Ecology , organizational ecology examines the environment in which organizations compete and a process like natural selection occurs. This theory looks at the death of organizations firm mortality , the birth of new organizations organizational founding , as well as organizational growth and change.
