    Study Notes

    Abiotic Factors

    • Sunlight is the primary energy source for ecosystems.
    • Sunlight influences temperature, circadian rhythms, and photosynthesis.
    • Temperature is influenced by sunlight and can affect the distribution and diversity of organisms.
    • Wind distributes pollen, gases, and spores.
    • Wind also moderates temperature.
    • Water is a vital molecule essential for life.
    • Water exists in three states: solid, liquid, and gas.

    Biotic Factors

    • Soil provides nutrients for plants, serving as a habitat for diverse organisms like earthworms and ants.
    • Salinity, or the salt concentration in water, significantly impacts the types of organisms that can thrive in an ecosystem.
    • pH levels, or the acidity or alkalinity of a solution, determine the biodiversity within an ecosystem.
    • pH is essential for nutrient distribution and the growth of various organisms.
