An ecological niche is where the animal or plant lives and what it does. It's the "profession" or "job" of the animal or plant. For example, oak trees live in oak woodlands; that's common sense. The oak woodland is the habitat. So if Odium was writing a letter to an oak tree he would address the letter to: Sir Deciduous Oak Tree,
The Oak Forest,
England,
UK What do oak trees do? If you can answer that question you know the oak trees "profession" or its ecological niche. Perhaps you think that oak trees just stand there looking pretty and not doing very much, but think about it. *

Related disciplines and approaches under ecology include environmental science, conservation biology, population ecology, community ecology, landscape ecology, and ecosystem ecology. These disciplines study interactions between organisms and their environment at different levels of organization, from individuals to ecosystems, to understand how ecosystems function and how they can be managed and conserved.
