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

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

vegetation 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.

Answer 3

Factors that can affect light intensity in a habitat include the angle and intensity of sunlight, weather conditions like cloud cover or fog, presence of tall structures or vegetation that can create shade, and the time of day or year. Other factors may include water depth, turbidity, and the reflectivity of surrounding surfaces.

Answer 4

temperature, PH, CO2
