Ecological data refers to data collected from studies and research related to ecosystems, biodiversity, and ecology. This type of data can include information on species populations, habitats, environmental conditions, and interactions among organisms. Ecological data is used to study patterns and processes in nature, understand the relationships between different species and their environment, and make informed decisions about conservation and management of natural resources. Researchers in this field often use a variety of methods such as field surveys, remote sensing, and modeling techniques to collect and analyze ecological data.
