Energy source - most ecosystems powered by sunlight
which provides energy for photosynthesis and primary
production
Temperature - affects metabolism, few organisms can
function below 0ºC, enzymes of most organisms are
destroyed above 45ºC
Water - is essential to all life. Terrestrial organisms need
to prevent drying out and aquatic organisms need to
balance their solute concentration
Inorganic Nutrients - The distribution of photosynthetic
organisms (plants, algae, bacteria) is usually limited by
availability of nitrogen and phosphorus.
Aquatic organisms are more affected by factors like
salinity, dissolved oxygen, currents and tides.
Terrestrial organisms are more affected by winds, storms, fire etc.
