Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The types and numbers of plants that grow in an ecosystem are controlled:
A
by the various biotic factors of the ecosystem.
B
by both the biotic and abiotic factors of the ecosystem.
C
by the various abiotic factors of the ecosystem.
D
entirely by the amount of water available.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Soil is one of the most important elements of an ecosystem, and it contains both biotic and abiotic factors.

Detailed explanation-2: -Biotic factors such as the presence of autotrophs or self-nourishing organisms such as plants, and the diversity of consumers also affect an entire ecosystem. Abiotic factors affect the ability of organisms to survive and reproduce. Abiotic limiting factors restrict the growth of populations.

Detailed explanation-3: -An abiotic factor is a non-living part of an ecosystem that shapes its environment. In a terrestrial ecosystem, examples might include temperature, light, and water. In a marine ecosystem, abiotic factors would include salinity and ocean currents. Abiotic and biotic factors work together to create a unique ecosystem.

Detailed explanation-4: -Biotic factors pertain to living organisms and their relationships. Abiotic factors are the non-living components of the ecosystem, including sunlight, water, temperature, wind, and nutrients. Ecologists use biotic and abiotic factors to predict population changes and ecological events.
