difference between biotic and abiotic resource?
Answers
The nonliving things in the ecosystem form the abiotic resources. The abiotic resources include sunlight, temperature and other similar factors. They both form an integral part of the ecosystem. Biotic are the living component whereas abiotic are the non living components.
Abiotic factors refer to non-living physical and chemical elements in the ecosystem. Abiotic resources are usually obtained from the lithosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere. Examples of abiotic factors are water, air, soil, sunlight, and minerals.
Biotic factors are living or once-living organisms in the ecosystem. These are obtained from the biosphere and are capable of reproduction. Examples of biotic factors are animals, birds, plants, fungi, and other similar organisms.
