Detailed explanation-1: -Biotic factors refer to the living or once-living organisms in an ecosystem and their impacts such as predation, competition, food supply, human impacts and parasites. Environmental factors such as rainfall, climate, predators, shelter and food availability can change.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ecology is the study of interaction between biotic and abiotic factors.
Detailed explanation-3: -Biotic or biological limiting factors are things like food, availability of mates, disease, and predators. Abiotic or physical limiting factors are non-living things such as temperature, wind, climate, sunlight, rainfall, soil composition, natural disasters, and pollution.
Detailed explanation-4: -These influences can involve biotic interactions like competition, predation, and disease, or abiotic factors like severe weather, flooding, drought, and fire. Most species appear to be limited in at least part of their geographic range by abiotic factors, such as temperature, moisture availability, and soil nutrients.
