Question

A species of plant is found growing in a narrow zone at the edge of woodland bordering an open field. Suggest two biotic and two abiotic factors that may be involved in restricting it to this Zone

Answer 1

An abiotic factor is a non-living part of an ecosystem that shapes its environment. In a terrestrial ecosystem, examples might include temperature, light, and water. In a marine ecosystem, abiotic factors would include salinity and ocean currents. Abiotic and biotic factors work together to create a unique ecosystem.
