address the following items in your notes: 1. What are abiotic and biotic factors? ABIOTIC is non living things such as temperature‚ precipitation ponds‚ rocks‚ sunlight and so forth. Abiotic also includes BIOTIC things that are living organisms. 2. List some of the abiotic and biotic factors for the following ecosystems: forest‚ desert‚ ocean‚ tropical forest‚ pond‚ savannah‚ and tundra. forest desert ocean tropical forest pond savannah tundra Abiotic (non-living) factors Soil pH‚ water‚ sunlight‚ rainfall…

American InterContinental University 7/16/2013 Abstract In this report we will be exploring Grasslands‚ define abiotic and biotic‚ we will see where Grassland I located and see an example. We will describe the structure of Grassland: listing both the abiotic and biotic components of Grassland‚ we will be describing the function of the ecosystem. How do the abiotic and the biotic components interact in biochemical cycles? Describe both the carbon and nitrogen cycles‚ describe the disturbance and recovery:

those two components usually dominate- they are most evident there- a freshwater habitat is in fact a community of not just plants and animals‚ but of microorganisms as well. Also‚ not forgetting in the mix the non-living‚ biotic and components like soil‚ climate and water. Include all of that along with the complex interrelationships among the organisms and the environment‚ and we are closer to an actual understanding of this ecosystem. Here we will be studying the biotic and abiotic components of two

make up its non-living or abiotic environment. There are many examples of ecosystems -- a pond‚ a forest‚ an estuary‚ grassland. The study of ecosystems mainly consists of the study of certain processes that link the living‚ or biotic‚ components to the non-living‚ or abiotic‚ components. Energy transformations and ecosystem components are the two main topics that comprise the field of ecosystem ecology.

3. An explanation of the key abiotic components of the ecosystem? That are non-living chemical and physical factors in the environment‚ which affect ecosystems. A good example is that a lot of small bushes and shrubs would not be able to live here because all the really tall trees would block most of the sunlight causing a lack in sunlight to the bushes and shrubs below them. This will cause the bushes and shrubs to die. 4. An explanation of the key biotic factors (species) that are found

Ecosystem Components and Interactions I. Introduction An ecosystem is a complex relationship between a community of organisms and the environment that they dwell in where energy is exchanged and transformed. Ecosystem includes the biotic (living organisms)‚ the abiotic (physical and chemical factors)‚ and the interactions made between these. They continually interact with each other‚ thus making complex systems with intersecting properties wherein “everything is connected”. In ecosystem ecology
