Question

Factors influencing the distribution of plants and animals

Answer 1

Factors affecting species distribution

climatic factors consist of sunlight, atmosphere, humidity, temperature, and salinity;

edaphic factors are abiotic factors regarding soil, such as the coarseness of soil, local geology, soil pH, and aeration; and.

social factors include land use and water availability.

Answer 2

Factors influencing the distribution of plants and animals

Explanation:

• Factors influencing the distribution of plants:
• The dispersion of plants is affected by soil structure, pH, and nutrient content, which in turn impacts the dispersion of the animals that eat them.
• In both marine and riparian ecosystems, oxygen availability is an essential abiotic element impacting species.
• Temperature, light, water, nutrients, and soil all have an effect on plant growth from germination to blooming.
• Factors influencing the distribution animals:
• Local factors including such soil conditions, geological structures, resource availability, and predator-prey interactions determine this.
• Each individual species' range is determined by how it has adapted and evolved within its climate and habitat.
• On land and in freshwater, animals are not evenly dispersed.
• Climate, food, shelter, plants and animals, as well as other factors restrict species to certain regions.
• In general, there are three types of distribution: continuous, discontinuous, and bipolar.
