What are the biotic and abiotic factors of a everglades ecosystem?

Answer 1

Biotic factors are the living components that affect a marine organism. What it eats, what eats it, how it mates and produces young. Activities like how it reproduces includes gestation time, parental care, gamete dispersal method, fertilization and dormancy. What diseases is it subject to and parasites are biotic factors. How mobile is it, what territory is able to cover, does it migrate or is it sedentary. (Nekton are free swimming or mobile organisms including fish, whales and krill but plankton are passive, they just drift with ocean currents.) Is it social in a school or pod to share in safety or hunting? Is it shore dwelling, or living in the deep water. Benthic organisms are bottom dwelling, they live either on the seabed or in the sediment. They can be attached & sessile or mobile bottom feeders and some do both by having a mobile juvenile stage. Abiotic marine factors include: Geography or topography underwater (plateau, valley, mountain and their slope, < 3% to > 10%). Plate tectonics. Temperature of air and water and their interactions. Latitude & seasonal periodicity to effect total amount of sunlight. Weather patterns (wind and water currents). Pedology (soil formation or weathering process) bedrock mineral content & sedimentation, age of formation, under water "climate". Wave action changes the amount of O2 dissolved in the water and the shore's shape. Chemistry including pollutants, pH, and salinity factors like fresh water influx with solutes and sediments.

Answer 2

Abiotic factors include tropical/subtropical solar heat, and bodies of water such as lakes, rivers and estuaries (also in some places sandy areas to lay eggs). Biotic factors include potential prey such as fish, turtles, various mammals and occasionally birds. Also predators of crocodile eggs and young crocodiles such as monitor lizards, fish eagles, Genet cats etc. And for some species, vegetation to form nests.

Answer 3

Abiotic factors are things that are in its ecosystem (the surrounding environment that it interacts with) that are not organic.

Biotic factors are aspects of the ecosystem that are organic.

Organic matter is anything that is living, was once living, or came from something living. For example; a plant is biotic, a mouse is biotic, the mouses waste is biotic, a dead bird is biotic, a rock is abiotic, water is abiotic, weather and climate are abiotic, etc.

So the American Alligator would be dealing with these factors;

Biotic

other alligators, fish and other animals/food, dead animals, waste, micro-organisms, plants, insects,

Abiotic

rocks, water, sand, mud, dirt, climate, heat, weather, oxygen & other parts of the atmosphere,

If you want more specific than that look up other parts of the ecosystem like what specific plants are where it lives, what other animals live there, what kind of water (fresh or marine), etc.

Answer 4

Biotic factors in the Everglades ecosystem include plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria. Abiotic factors include sunlight, temperature, water availability, soil composition, and pH levels. These factors interact to create a unique and diverse ecosystem in the Everglades.

Answer 5

some abiotic factors in the everglades are dirt, water, mud, and rain. Abiotic factors are the NON-LIVING parts of an ecosystem. other abiotic factors are rocks
