What factors affect the light intensity value in a given habitat?

In tropical rainforests, the canopy is the most responsible for filtering light before it gets its way to the bottom. A full canopy ensures that only about 2% of sunlight reaches the forest floor. But when a forest giant such as a 150 foot tall tree dies and falls, there is an ecological scramble of new plants to fill the void; the most evolutionary fit wins.
In other biomes, it can simply be depth that determines the intensity of light. Marine ecosystems are divided into photic and aphotic zones: the top is the photic zone where light is visible, and the aphotic zone is after the photic to the bottom (benthic zone) where no light penetrates.
Of course, these are only two examples on two types of ecosystems. Abiotic factors vary in different geographical locations.

∙ 14y agovegetation is a great factor about this. Desserts have no vegetation so the sunlight goes direct. In the forests the soil is protected by the cover of vegetaion that block direct sun rays. Also the position in earth where the especific are is located since certain locations are harder to reach by the sun than other areas as the carribbean or polinesia.

What refers to a group of populations living in a given area?
Several groups of populations in an area/habitat is called a community.
Why a forest is considered an ecosystem?
Ecosystems exist because animals, plants and other organisms exist. Ecosystems are basically the relationships between all the organisms in one habitat as well as the abiotic elements in that habitat.
What do all the biotic and abotic factors in a given area make up?
The biotic factors are the living things in that area. That is, biotic factors are the flora (plants) and fauna (animals) of an area.

Variable
What is a density dependent factor?
The density dependent factor refers to the factors that affect the size or growth of a given population density. The factors also affect the mortality rate and the Birth Rate of a population. Some of the density dependent factors are disease, parasitism, availability of food and migration.
What is the definition for intensity of insolation?
Intensity of insolation refers to the intensity of the sun's rays on the earth's surface. It is a measure of solar energy that is received by a given surface area at a given time.
What is the formula of wave intensity?
Not sure what formula you are looking for. Wave intensity is given by the amplitude of the wave.
What 3 factors affect population size?
Three factors that affect population size are habitat, predation and biology. A populations habitat often determines the availability of such necessities as food and shelter. The climate of a given habitat can also impact population viability, and habitat loss can result in the elimination of a population. Predators have an obvious impact on population size. A population subjected to excessive or growing predation will begin to decline in numbers. However, predation can also rid a population of the weak and infirm, leaving the remaining population stronger collectively. Finally, biology often determines the frequency and viability of reproduction. Population size is dramatically impacted by a species ability, or inability, to replenish its numbers through reproduction.
How does external factors affect Mark Spencer?
External factors affect Marks and Spencer in terms of the buying power of customer. The marketing strategies of the company must also adapt to the external factors such as political, economic, technological, legal and environmental factors for the brand to continually thrive in a given location.
What are the factors that affect the rate of osmosis?
The rate of osmosis is dependent on factors such as temperature, particle size (surface area), and the concentration gradient and time given for osmosis to occur
