Comparison of Biotic and Abiotic in different ecosystem
Terrestrial: Grassland
Biotic
Types of interactions
Commensalism
One species benefits and the other is not affected
eg: a giraffe may use a tree for shade and protection.
Parasitism
One species is harmed and the other benefits
eg : ticks on lions and fleas on dogs
Amensalism
one is inhibited and the other is not affected
eg : : Wild Boars will destroy a large portion of vegetation looking for insects
Predation
predator naturally benefits from this relationship, while the prey is harmed
eg : a lion hunting for his dinner which is a deer
Mutualism
Both species benefit
eg : bird eating ticks off of a buffalo. The bird gets a meal and the buffalo is tick free.
Abiotic
Temperature
Indicates the amount of energy
Has limitation as the temperature rises.
Light
Plants
Short-day
Chrysanthemum sp.
(chrysanthemum)
Euphorbia pulcherrima
(poinsettia)
Long-day
Spinach
Wheat
Barley
Clover
Radish
Day-neutral
Lycopersion esculeutum
(tomato)
Zea mays
(maize plant)
Animals
Migration of birds
Amount of daily light
Right time to migrate
Water
Depend on rainfall or water vapor
Atmospheric pressure
Only certain animal that live at high altitude with low pressure because it is harder to breathe
Soil
Sandy soil
Clay soil
Physiographic
altitude
slope of land
position of the area in relation to the sun or rain-bearing winds
Aquatic:Pond
Biotic
Amensalism
algal bloom and fish
Predation
larger fish will prey smaller fish for food
Parasitism
some parasites of fish cause infection in fish
Commenalism
pondweed provide protection and shelter to small fishes
Mutualism
algae and fungi
Abiotic
Water
Aquatic plants
Do not have any limitation or problem compared to terrestrial
Animal
Water is not a major problem unless drought happens
Light
It is a limitation for aquatic plants as it do not fully reach into the deeper sea.
Soil
Sandy
Mud
Temperature
the deeper the depth, the cooler the water temperature
Atmospheric pressure
Aquatic plant has the adaptation to a higher pressure in the water
