Study Notes
Ecosystem Components
- An ecosystem contains living organisms (biotic factors) and non-living components (abiotic factors) that interact with each other in a specific environment.
Interactions in an Ecosystem
- Plants, animals, and other organisms interact with each other in an ecosystem through processes such as predation, symbiosis, and competition for resources.
- These interactions can be categorized into three types: producer-consumer, decomposer, and predator-prey relationships.
Abiotic Factors
- Abiotic factors in an ecosystem include non-living components such as light, temperature, water, soil, air, and nutrients.
- These factors can affect the survival, growth, and distribution of organisms within an ecosystem.
- Abiotic factors can also influence the cycling of nutrients, the flow of energy, and the overall structure of an ecosystem.
