Biotic: Living components; the biota is all organisms. Example- Abiotic factors may have indirect effect on organisms via biotic factors. Higher precipitation may impact kangaroo distribution in Australia (lower the better)‚ or climate may influence through biotic factors such as pathogens‚ parasites‚ competitors

Ecosystems are environments where biotic (living) organisms and abiotic (non-living) components interact together to create a functional‚ complex network of nutrient and energy cycling. These balanced environments take time‚ sometimes many years‚ to develop. During the course of development‚ species are replaced by other species within the ecosystem‚ a process known as succession. Primary succession happens when species grow in locations where organisms have never previously existed. Secondary succession

Ecology EQ’s 2. Abiotic and biotic components influence each other. For instance‚ temperature (abiotic factor) can make plants (biotic factor) reproduce more or reproduce less. Also water‚ an abiotic factor‚ has an effect on how animals‚ a biotic factor‚ survive in certain areas of the world. 3. Because a different niche allows multiple species of organisms to coexist. If all organisms had the same niche‚ then there would be heavy competition for food‚ shelter‚ etc. Having different niches gives

a number of components involved in the Coral Reef ecosystem Introduction: Coral Reefs are reefs composed mainly of coral and other organic matter of which parts have solidified into limestone. Coral Reefs are said to be the most biologically diverse ecosystems on earth‚ home to wide range of fish and coral species. Paragraph One: Coral Reefs contain two major features to its ecosystem‚ Abiotic or Biotic factors. In other words non-living and living components. The Abiotic factors of a

Conclusion INTRODUCTION ON ECOSYSTEM An ecosystem is a community of living organisms (plants and animals) sharing an environment. The largest ecosystems are called biomes. An ecosystem consists of the biological community that occurs in some locale‚ and the physical and chemical factors that make up its non-living or abiotic environment

Question 1 : The distribution of organisms in a community is affected by the biotic factors and abiotic factors. Abiotic factors are the non-living components in the ecosystem such as air‚ water‚ soil‚ temperature and light intensity. Biotic factors are the living components in the ecosystem such as animals and plants. In an ecosystem‚ the living organisms live together in their non-living environment and function as a unit. This dynamic system starts with species‚ populations‚ ecosystems‚ communities
