Detailed explanation-1: -The intertidal zone is characterized by persistent, tidally-driven fluctuations in both abiotic (e.g., temperature, oxygen, and salinity) and biotic (e.g., food availability and predation) factors, which make this a physiologically challenging habitat for resident organisms.
Detailed explanation-2: -Biotic Factors of the intertidal zone A biotic factor is any living component that affects another organism, including animals that consume the organism in question, and the living food that the organism consumes. In the interidal zones, that includes autotrophs, heterotrophs, and scavengers.
Detailed explanation-3: -Biotic factors in an ecosystem such as the intertidal zone and estuary are composed of all plants, animals, and microorganisms living in it. These organisms live in different habitats found in intertidal zones and estuaries. These include coral reefs, salt marshes, mud flats, rocky shores, and mangrove forests.
