'organisms and their environment' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'seem somehow to include cosy street' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'to include' indicates putting letters inside.
'street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'seem' anagrammed gives 'eems'.
'cosy'+'st'='cosyst'
'eems' placed around 'cosyst' is 'ECOSYSTEMS'.
