Ecology needs to study the biotic and abiotic elements because it is studying the ecosystem. The understanding of the interactions between living organisms (biotic elements) and their physical environment (abiotic elements) is crucial for understanding how ecosystems function, how species interact with each other and their environment, and how energy and nutrients flow through these systems.
