Abiotic Features | Terrestrial | Aquatic | Buoyancy | Air provides lift and flotation support for organisms | Water uses an upward force on an object and in it which allows flotation. | Viscosity (resistance to movement) | Air has a low viscosity. This makes it easier for organisms to move through it. | Water has a high viscosity. This makes it more difficult for organisms to move through it | Light | Light can pass freely through air. Plenty of light is available to land organisms. Dense plant

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

ABIOTIC FACTORS AND ITS ENVIRONMENT Abstract Abiotic factors in the environment can affect an individual’s conditions‚ habits and activities. Tropics have altering weather conditions even if there is no seasonality. It may be sunny at a certain period of time then it will be overcast all of a sudden. Testing abiotic components would help us show diversity in different kinds of environment. Three varied location were selected; A classroom‚ a busy street (Recto Ave.) and the university garden

How Abiotic Factors Affect Living Organisms Article by Atula Gupta (4‚989 pts ) Edited & published by Rebecca Scudder (73‚943 pts ) on Jul 15‚ 2010 Read more: http://www.brighthub.com/environment/science-environmental/articles/77769.aspx#ixzz1I0yCv4PU Planet Earth is the only known planet that has conditions suitable enough for living organisms to grow‚ reproduce and survive. These conditions are a combination of non-living components like water‚ sunlight‚ temperature and living components

Explain how the changes in abiotic factors during a hydrosere control the changes in species that are present A hyrdrosere is a plant succession which occurs in a fresh water lake. In time an area of open fresh water will dry out forming woodland. During a hydrosere there are many abiotic factors that change‚ which causes different species to inhabit the lake depending on the conditions they need to thrive and live successfully. There are many different stages that occur during a hyrdrosere

A.Tenebrosa has a few abiotic factors that make them adapt to their situation and influence where they live and their distribution. Desiccation is the most important abiotic factor to consider because if they dry out and lose water they can die. Because A.Tenebrosa do not have a hard shell they find it much harder to store water‚ so they adapt themselves in a different way. Instead of storing water in their shell‚ the A.Tenebrosa fold their tentacles inside of their mouth and swallows the water to

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
