Biotic and Abiotic Factors
Interactions, Resources, Conditions and Disturbances
The envioronment is a complex set of multiple factors thatsurround and affect the healt, performance, abundance, survival and diversity of living beings.
A biotic environmental factor is one in which living beings and products they produce are involved, while an abiotic factor is one that has its origin from the non-living components of the ecosystem.
An ecological interaction is the bidirectional relationship between two individuals or populations that affect their performance, fertility, survival and population size in a positive or negative way
Resources are elements of the envioronment that, when used or consumed by an organism or group of organisms for their benefit, reduce their availability for another living being or for another population
The conditions are the physicalan chemical factors of the environment to wich organisms respond differentially, such temperature, humidity, the speed of water in a river, the degree of acity of the soil and toxic substances.
Biotic Factors
Biotic factors are the living organisms that influence the shape of an ecosystem. They can refer to the flora and fauna of a place and their interactions. Individuals must have specific behavior and physiological characteristics that allow their survival and reproduction in a defined environment.
Biotic factors are all living organisms, which interact with other living organisms. For example: bamboo, horse, flies.
The relationships between the organisms of an ecosystem are also called a biotic factor. These relationships condition the existence of all the inhabitants of the ecosystem, since they modify their behaviors, the way they feed and reproduce, and in general the conditions necessary to survive.
Abiotic Factors
In biology and ecology, abiotic factors or abiotic components are the lifeless chemical and physical components of the environment that can affect dead organisms and the functioning of ecosystems.
An ecosystem is made up of two components that interact with each other: the living or biotic part formed by the various groups of organisms; and the physical or abiotic part that constitutes the environment where organisms live and develop.
