Biodiversity is the variety of animals, plants, fungi, and even microorganisms like bacteria that make up our natural world. Each of these species and organisms work together in ecosystems, like an intricate web, to maintain balance and support life. Ecology is about the organisms and how they interact with the environment around them.

Eco-toxicological effects refer to the impacts of toxic substances, often contaminants or pollutants, on ecosystems and living organisms within those ecosystems. These effects encompass the interactions between chemicals and biological systems, including how toxins affect species, populations, communities, and entire ecosystems

Soil ecology is the study of the interactions among soil organisms, and between biotic and abiotic aspects of the soil environment. Soil contamination, soil pollution, or land pollution is caused by a combination of industrial activity, agricultural chemicals and the improper disposal of waste. Accidental spills and acid rain are also contributors. Soil science is the study of soil formation, classification and mapping; physical, chemical, biological, and fertility properties of soils; and these properties in relation to the use and management of soils.

Agroecology focuses on changing social relations, empowering farmers, adding value locally and privileging short value chains. It allows farmers to adapt to climate change, sustainably use and conserve natural resources and biodiversity. Agrobiodiversity is the result of the interaction between the environment, genetic resources and management systems and practices used by culturally diverse peoples, and therefore land and water resources are used for production in different ways.

Biomass is a renewable energy source that comes from plants and animals. Biofuels are energy sources derived from biological materials through contemporary biological processes. Bioenergy is a form of renewable energy that is derived from recently living organic materials known as biomass, which can be used to produce transportation fuels, heat, electricity, and products.

Geographic information systems (GIS) assist in the display and manipulation of spatial data—points, lines, or areas with associated labels or data values. Remote sensing detects and monitors the physical characteristics of an area by measuring its reflected and emitted radiation at a distance (typically from satellite or aircraft). Geospatial Science focuses on using information technology to understand people, places, and processes of the earth.
