• An ecosystem consists of biotic and abiotic factors. • Biotic factors are the living organisms in an ecosystem. Examples include people, plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria. • Abiotic factors are the nonliving components of an ecosystem. Examples include soil, water, weather, and temperature. • The limiting factor is the single component that limits the growth, distribution, or abundance of an organism or population. Biotic Factors Biotic factors include any living component of an ecosystem. They include related biological factors, such as pathogens, effects of human influence, and diseases. Living components fall into one three categories: • Producers: Producers or autotrophs convert abiotic factors into food. The most common pathway is • Consumers: Consumers or heterotrophs • Decomposers: Decomposers or detritivores break down chemicals made by producers and consumers into simpler molecules. The products made by decomposers may be used by producers. Fungi, earthworms, and some bacteria are decomposers. Abiotic Factors Abiotic factors are the nonliving components of an ecosystem that an organism or population needs for growth, maintenance, and reproduction. Examples of abiotic factors include sunlight, tides, water, temperature, pH, minerals, and events, such as volcanic eruptions and storms. An abiotic factor typically affects other abiotic factors. For example, decreased sunlight can lower temperature, which in turn affects wind and humidity. Abiotic factors include ...

The structure of an ecosystem is characterized by the organization of both biotic and abiotic factors. It includes the distribution of energy in our environment. In ecosystem biotic and abiotic factors are interrelated. It is an open system where the energy and biotic and abiotic factors can flow throughout the boundaries. In an ecosystem, all living organisms are known as biotic components whereas non-living components are known as abiotic. Examples of biotic factors are plants, animals, yeast, decomposers, etc. Whereas heat, sun, water, land, rainfall, mountain, humidity, etc. are abiotic factors. Biotic Factors: The three main kinds of (biotic factors) organisms depending on the manner in which they obtain the food are: Producers: Organisms that produce their own food by photosynthesis, e.g., green plants, blue-green algae, etc. We can say that all the producers are autotrophs. Consumers: These are the organisms which take food from the producers. All the heterotrophic organisms are the consumers. Consumers can be further classified into herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, and parasites Herbivores are animals that only feed on grass, for e. g. deer, rabbit, etc. They are also known as primary consumers. Carnivores are organisms that only take their food from other animals. For e.g., lion, tiger, wolf, etc. Small carnivores like dogs, wolves, etc. are secondary consumers, and large animals like lions and tigers are considered tertiary consumers as they feed on secondary c...

The so-called 'two halves' of an ecosystem, biotic and abiotic factors work together to ensure a balanced, vibrant and thriving natural environment. Here we outline what biotic and abiotic factors are and how they are closely connected. Biotic and abiotic factors are what make up our surrounding natural world. • Biotic factors are living things within an ecosystem. These include humans, plants, fungi, animals and microorganisms including bacteria. • Abiotic factors on the other hand, are non-living components of an ecosystem such as water, temperature, sunlight, nutrients, soil and the atmosphere itself. The way these components interact is ever-changing and critical in an ecosystem as living organisms require both biotic and abiotic factors to survive. A deficit or abundance of either component can limit other factors within an ecosystem and influence an organism’s health and long-term survival. To understand what exactly an ecosystem is, read about Biotic Factors Explained Earth's oceans have some of the most important biotic and abiotic factors on the planet. (Foto: CC0 / Pixabay / vjacob1) Biotic factors include any living component within an ecosystem. These living components fall into one of the three following Producers Producers or autotrophs (i.e. plants, algae, plankton and bacteria) convert abiotic factors into food. The most common pathway is photosynthesis, through which carbon dioxide, water, and energy from sunlight are used to produce glucose and oxygen. Pl...

Organisms are mutually related to other organisms in order to survive. In addition, organisms also have reciprocal interactions with their environment. Organisms and their environment are involved in a system that makes them need each other. The system reflects a unity of interacting organisms. Biotic and Abiotic Components Ecosystem is the merger of each bio system unit that forms reciprocal interactions between organisms and their environment into energy flows, leading to a certain biotic structure and material cycles that occur between organisms and an-organisms. Biosystems are systems consisting of components of organisms. The material cycle in question is the carbon cycle, the water cycle, the nitrogen cycle, and the sulfur cycle which function to prevent a form of material from accumulating somewhere. Based on the Gaia Hypothesis, organisms, especially Abiotic Components Abiotic components are environmental components consisting of elements that do not live either physically or chemically in an ecosystem. Abiotic sources are usually obtained from the lithosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere. The abiotic component has an important role for biotic components. Here are the abiotic components: • Temperature Temperature is an abiotic component that is influenced by many factors such as sunlight radiation, latitude, and altitude. An example is a coconut tree that lives in a windy coastal area. Coconut trees have a strong root system and elastic stems that are not easily br...
