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
