abiotic components
Abiotic components of an ecosystem consist of the nonorganic aspects of the environment that determine what life forms can thrive. Examples of abiotic components are temperature, average humidity, topography and natural disturbances. Temperature varies by latitude; locations near the equator are warmer than are locations near the poles or the temperate zones. Humidity influences the amount of water and moisture in the air and soil, which, in turn, affect rainfall. Topography is the layout of the land in terms of elevation. For example, according to the University of Wisconsin, land located in the rain shadow of a mountain will receive less precipitation. Natural disturbances include tsunamis, lightning storms, hurricanes and forest fires.
Biotic Components
The biotic components of an ecosystem are the life forms that inhabit it. The life forms of an ecosystem aid in the transfer and cycle of energy. They are grouped in terms of the means they use to get energy. Producers such as plants produce their own energy without consuming other life forms; plants gain their energy from conducting photosynthesis via sunlight. Consumers exist on the next level of the food chain. There are three main types of consumers: herbivores, carnivores and omnivores. Herbivores feed on plants, carnivores get their food by eating other carnivores or herbivores, and omnivores can digest both plant and animal tissue
