  2. Abiotic component - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiotic_component

    Humans can make or change abiotic factors in a species' environment. For instance, fertilizers can affect a snail's habitat, or the greenhouse gases which humans utilize can change marine pH levels. Abiotic components include physical conditions and non-living resources that affect living organisms in terms of growth, maintenance, and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest_pathology

    Forest pathology is the research of both biotic and abiotic maladies affecting the health of a forest ecosystem, primarily fungal pathogens and their insect vectors. [1] [2] It is a subfield of forestry and plant pathology.

  4. Environmental factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_factor

    An environmental factor, ecological factor or eco factor is any factor, abiotic or biotic, that influences living organisms. [1] Abiotic factors include ambient temperature , amount of sunlight , air, soil, water and pH of the water soil in which an organism lives.

  5. Competition (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competition_(biology)

    Competition is one of many interacting biotic and abiotic factors that affect community structure, species diversity, and population dynamics (shifts in a population over time). [3] There are three major mechanisms of competition: interference, exploitation, and apparent competition (in order from most direct to least direct).

  6. Environmental gradient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_gradient

    The abiotic factors that environmental gradients consist of can have a direct ramifications on organismal survival. Generally, organismal distribution is tied to those abiotic factors, but even an environmental gradient of one abiotic factor yields insight into how a species distribution might look.

    The english muffin, made in house by their pastry chef Liz Hollinger, is tender and filled with all the nooks and crannies needed to absorb the savory goodness sandwiched in between.

  8. Climatic adaptation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climatic_adaptation

    Climatic adaptation refers to adaptations of an organism that are triggered due to the patterns of variation of abiotic factors that determine a specific climate.Annual means, seasonal variation and daily patterns of abiotic factors are properties of a climate where organisms can be adapted to.

  9. Realized niche width - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Realized_niche_width

    Again, these changes are important in understanding the effects of invasive species in a new habitat. The ability of a new species to change an environments abiotic and biotic factors can make a previously habitable environment for a species uninhabitable. The extinction of this species can further change the biotic factors of an environment.
