one abiotic factor affecting the abundance and distribution of red algae (scientific name rhodophyta) is sunlight as red algae depends almost only on sunlight as it needs this to carry out photosynthesis to gain their energy. Without the required sunlight, red algae cannot perform photosynthesis, which means they won't have the energy they need and therefore will find it difficult to survive.
