The biotic factors , by definition, are those life and then move therefore must acquire energy (through a process of feeding).

In this way, it can be said that biotic factors are responsible for having an active behavior in the ecosystem, generating relationships through the very need for survival (this could be discussed in the case of humans, who expanded their needs beyond survival itself).

It is common for the biotic components of an ecosystem to be divided between organisms that produce their own food (usually plants), consumers of food already produced (animals) and decomposers of dead animals (some fungi and bacteria ).

Abiotic Factors

The  abiotic factors have to do precisely with everything that is outside the Biotic, ie everything that gives ecosystem features that allow generating the life of the species listed therein. Indispensably it will be elements that lack life , and therefore will not be responsible for the changes inside the ecosystem.

The action of living beings can have different effects on the abiotic factors of the ecosystem, even transforming it: however, as it is these factors that allow life, it is possible that a transformation produced by one species restricts the survival of another .

Around the preservation of certain abiotic factors, new relationships are frequently established within the ecosystem. When the modification occurs, or when new organisms enter an already configured system, they may have to go through a process of adaptation to the new conditions.

Examples Of Abiotic Factors

Visible light Measurement of acidity or alkalinity of soils
Air Geographical accidents
Relief Ozone
Mercury Temperature
Tin Material of which the floor is composed
Geographical space Match
Calcium Infrared light
Nickel Oxygen
Salinity Content and characteristics of the Earth’s atmosphere
Uranium Silver
Ultraviolet light Water availability
