(1.4 billion acres. An abiotic factor is any of a number of the non-living components of a habitat. The abiotic factors of the amazon rain forest biome are the amount of water ‚ sunlight ‚ climate ‚ weather and precipitation. These factors affect the trees and animals that live there. They are very important because without the right amount of water and sunlight the trees in the rainforest would not be able to grow and it will die. A biotic factor is any living component that affects

Biotic Components Paper Marisella Marengo University of Phoenix SCI/256 Susan Jensen June 28‚ 2010 Biotic Components Paper An ecosystem is simply the collection of biotic and abiotic components and processes that consist of and governs the behavior of some defined subset of the biosphere. Therefore‚ a biotic component is something that is or has lived. Although sometimes considered only as transitions zones between aquatic and terrestrial environments wetlands actually are true ecosystems

Interaction between Abiotic and Biotic Components All living organisms depend upon their environment for survival essentials: 1) food 2) shelter 3) breeding site. In turn the organism interacts with the environment in several ways. For example a plant uses the environment for the three purposes named above but in turn it also removes carbon dioxide and water from the air‚ it gets eaten by an animal or a parasite and it depends on the soil for its support. Therefore the plant is interacting

However‚ the founder of the theory recognizes that there are other external factors that may contribute to the interaction of plants and pests. These factors include the plant adaptation‚ abiotic factors and management practices. The theory of Francis Chaboussou foresees the agriculture sector to shift from better management of crops production by paying attention to its proper needs. (Chaboussou as cited by Paull 2007). The above mentioned theories relay in the study since it focused on managing

only work well for the water bodies in the regions in which they were developed‚ and may give anomalous results in other types of water body. Biotic Indices The basis of any aquatic eco-system is water and the quality of the ecosystem may be determined by the quality of the water. Biotic indices can give an indication of the quality of the water. Biotic Indices‚ which are based on the presence or absence of particular indicator groups or species at the sampling point‚ are best suited for waters

F3.3 – LIMITING FACTORS • a factor that causes popn growth to decrease • two basic types: 1. density-independent factors 2. density-dependent factors 1. Density-independent factors • an abiotic event that affects all popn’s in the same way‚ regardless of popn density • e.g. fires‚ earthquakes‚ storms‚ temperature extremes… 2. Density-dependent Factors • a biotic interaction that varies in its effect on popn size‚ depending on the density of the popn involved • have greater impact on denser popn’s

and so much more. Some factors that affect biodiversity of species are what are around the biomes‚ the unnatural species living there‚ extreme climate changes (in general)‚ pollution‚ unusual weather changes(drought‚ flood‚ snow‚ etc.)‚ littering‚ loss of natural resources‚ extinction of plants/animals‚ and much much more. The difference between biotic and abiotic factors in an animal’s habitat is that the biotic factors are living or have lived while the abiotic factors are not living‚ will not
