Introduction to environment

The team environment means the conditions or objects by which one is surrounded. But in the context of the living being, It means much more. In our daily life, we can see that every organism live in the midst of various living and non-living objects, happening and influences, natural as well as artificial things the sum total of these all condition is known as environment. Environment can be defined as all external conditions or influences under which an organism lives. Survival re production growth metabolism, mobility and development of an organism, determine by environment.

  

Environment is all of the external factors affecting an organism. These factors may be living organism or non living things, such as temperature, rainfall, day length, wind, water, soil, ocean currents etc.  The interactions of organism with biotic and antibiotic factors from an ecosystem. Thus, there is an intimate relationship between different kinds of organism and environment. 

Healthy and Balanced environment is essential for all living beings. An organism can't survive without an environment. Human beings are no exception to it further they are more than just biological beings. And are in constant quest of comfort and safety than any other organisms. 

Human being, therefore, develop a new kind of environment which is known as manmade. But this manmade environment also ultimately depends upon and draws from the natural environment.  

Thus environment is the sum totals all physical, biological and social conditions and their influences on the development cycle of biotic elements. We cannot define environment exactly. It is interaction with different conditions and situations. Environment is the total condition of the physical surrounding as well as socio-cultural conditions. Environment is the natural surroundings, layers of air, forest and water around the specific area or the whole world.

“The total setting in which a given object rests or a given action takes place, including all physical, chemical, biological, and psychological factors. The terms can be modified and restricted by specifying the objects on the action Thus, the work environment immediately surrounding a job to be done including not only the walls of the room or the lack of them but lighting, temperature, humidity and noise level interaction with colleagues and other persons, air quality presence or absence of superior and so forth. The environment of a logging operation would include not only the trees to be cut the soil beneath them the air above them all other vegetation on the site all affected wildlife any recreational sites within earshot or line of sight and so forth.

In totally, environment is a system or a process which gives the shelter, food, life to all the living beings and they are totally dependent on natural environment for the existence of life.
