Biotic means living so anything in the koalas environment that is alive could affect it's survival. For example: predators, the growth/abundance of eucalyptus trees...
hope this gives you an idea :)

∙ 9y agoSome abiotic factors that affect koalas are the temperature around their habitat, as well as water that is available. Another factor is the soil, which is important because it needs to grow their favorite food, eucalyptus.

What population would least likely to survive in a change in its ecosystem?
B. koalas that eat only eucalyptus leaves done
What is the correct interpretation of the cladogram shown below?
Koalas evolved after trout
Is a kangaroo an autotroph or hetertroph?
A crocodile would be a heterotroph. Heterotrophs get their food and energy from other sources such as by consuming other animals. Autotrophs make their own food or energy such as through the process of photosynthesis.
What acronym do you use to remember the linnean classification systme?
An acronym that everybody uses,is King Philip Calls Out For Good Soup.If that doesn't work,try Koalas Pee Carefully On Floors Grass & Spots.These two acronyms stand for Kingdom,Phylum,Class,Order,Family,Genus and Species. Oh yeah! 11 year-old sixth grader did this.
How does Australia's culture affect koalas?
Driving them to extinction.
How did the First Fleet affect koalas?
The First Fleet did not affect koalas at all; neither did the second or third fleets. Koalas were not even discovered by the European settlers until January 1799 - eleven years after the arrival of the First Fkeet.
Describe some of the dangers that threaten the survival of koalas?
Human/poachers just saw it on t.v.
Who are Koalas' enemies?
Man is the biggest threat to the koala. Habitat loss, land clearing, housing and building developments, untethered dogs and cars all pose the greatest threat to the survival of koalas. Young koalas are often taken by Birds of Prey, foxes, feral cats and even goannas.
How will global warming affect the koalas?
The main way in which climate change is likely to affect koalas is that the frequency and intensity of bushfires in Australia will probably increase. Bushfires, of course, kill koalas. Eucalyptus bushland will always regenerate after a bushfire - that is the way Australian native plants are designed - so, while koalas are unlikely to lose their food source anytime soon, the impact of bushfires on the koala population can be quite devastating. Koalas simply have nowhere to run and hide.
Does a koala live in the tundra?
No, koalas do not live in the tundra. Koalas require eucalyptus bushland in temperate or sub-tropical zones of eastern Australia. Tundra is too cold. Australia's only tundra is on Mt Kosciuszko and nearby high country, which does not support the eucalyptus trees koalas need for their survival.
How do people affect koalas?
People cut down the koalas' homes to make farms, logging, and urban houses. Urban sprawl leads to koalas killed on the road and attacked by pets. In the past, people hunted koalas and made them almost extinct; but laws were passed in the 1920s to protect koalas.
What is a natural disaster in the habitat of koala bears?
A common natural disaster in the habitat of koalas (which are not bears) is bushfires. Bushfires rage through koala habitats, burning eucalyptus trees and undergrowth, and therefore posing a severe threat to the survival of koalas.
What plant is the koala bear partial to?
Koalas are not bears. They are marsupials, unlike bears. Koalas' survival depends on eucalyptus trees, but not on just any eucalyptus tree. While there are hundreds of different eucalyptus species in Australia, koalas feed on just 14 species as their primary food source, specifically, the subgenus Symphyomyrphus. Preferred eucalyptus species vary depending on their locality, so that the species eaten by koalas in the south will be different to those eaten by northern koalas.
How does temperature affect koalas habitat?
Koalas are northern animals and thrive at a temperature of anywhere from 10 to 37.7 degrees centigrade. Anything much over that pushes their limits and can be very harmful to their species.
Does temperature affect koalas?
Australia does not have extreme temperature variations in the areas where koalas live. The worst that happens is that koalas' habitat may be subjected to extreme heat and dryness for a prolonged period of time. During these heatwaves, koalas will actively seek out water, even though during normal times they do not tend to drink, instead obtaining all their moisture needs from the leaves they eat. Bushfires can certainly kill koalas.
About what age do Koalas die?
This depends entirely upon factors such as whether or not the koala is wild, or whether it is in captivity, in a sanctuary. Koalas in the wild do not live as long as those in zoos and sanctuaries, which can live up to 18 years.
