[edit] Article name

Perhaps I could have called the article Environment (ecology). This may cause some confusion however, since ecology is often confused with environmental issues. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 09:13, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

I was thinking about creating such an article myself, although I decided against it. I was going to call it environment (ecology) too, and I've created a redirect from there. There is sort of a need for an article like this, but it also overlaps a lot with other terms like habitat and ecological niche, so it might be difficult semantically. I think articles on conditions and resources in ecology would be a good idea, then this one could summarize those for some of its content. One of the most annoying things is wanting to link to the word 'environment' but not having the right article to link to, and I think this can be that article in many cases.
