What are the effect of changes in abiotic factors on the ecosystem?
For example, due to different reasons(like water pollution), water becomes enriches in mineral thus supporting large population of algae,causing water blooms. It does have negative effect on plants, fish and other organisms in water but, algae ha a positive effect of this change in abiotic factors(water).
What factors affect both plants and animals?
Key Points
- Soil structure, pH, and its nutrient content affect the distribution of plants, which in turn influences the distribution of the animals that feed on them.
- Oxygen availability is an important abiotic factor affecting species in both aquatic and terrestrial environments.
What are 3 factors that affect living organisms within a biome?
Temperature range, soil type, and the amount of light and water are unique to a particular place and form the niches for specific species allowing scientists to define the biome.
What would happen if one either biotic or abiotic were removed or polluted in the ecosystem?
Biotic factors are all of the living organisms within an ecosystem. No matter what its size, each abiotic factor plays an important role in an ecosystem. If one factor is removed or changed, it can affect the entire ecosystem and all of the organisms that live there.
What happens to a small ecosystem if one abiotic or biotic factor is changed or removed?
When changes to either abiotic or biotic factors affect an entire ecosystem, ecological succession occurs. Ecological succession is when one community of organisms, such as plants or animals, is replaced by another. The fire burns down the species of trees present in the forest and forces out many animal species.
How can destruction of our natural resources affect the survival of species?
Answer: yes it will greatly affect the survival of the species because life itself depends on natural resources. a very common example is deforestation- those animals living in forest will be displaced they might not be able to adapt to the conditions of other habitat these organisms will not be able to survive.
What is the effect of plants in the life of other organism in the environment?
Plants supply food to nearly all terrestrial organisms, including humans. We eat either plants or other organisms that eat plants. Plants maintain the atmosphere. They produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis.
