How can biotic and abiotic factors work together to control a population's growth?
Answers
Answer:
Biotic factors can be presence of food, pathogen, or a predator.
Abiotic factors can be physical or chemical factors in the environment like PH of water or soil, temperature, speed of wind or current, availability of minerals in the soil, sun light and may more.
Explanation:
The presence of food, and the preferred abiotic factors by the species lead to the establishment and the growth of the population of this species in the area.
The presence of predators, diseases and unsuitable abiotic factors lead to the control of the size of population and could lead to a decrease of it due to high mortality rate or migration.
A limiting factor is any factor that places an upper limit on the size of apopulation. Limiting factors may bebiotic, such as the availability of food, or abiotic, such as access to water. ...Abiotic factors such as temperature, light, and soil can influence a species' ability to survive.
