Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The study of the dietary requirements and role of African bush elephants in a savanna environment falls under the field of ecology, which is concerned with the relationships between organisms and their environment. Biogeography is the study of the distribution of living things across the Earth, pedology is the study of soils, and plant biology is the study of plants. None of these fields specifically focus on the topic of elephant ecology in a savanna environment.
