Scientists monitor several abiotic factors in stream ecosystems, including water temperature, pH levels, dissolved oxygen, and nutrient concentrations (such as nitrogen and phosphorus). These factors influence the physical and chemical environment of the stream, affecting the health and distribution of aquatic organisms. Additionally, flow rate and sediment composition are also important, as they can impact habitat structure and the movement of organisms within the stream. Monitoring these factors helps assess ecosystem health and informs conservation efforts.

Ecosystems differ from a community in that they also contain abiotic factors like air, water, sunlight, and soil, which interact with the biotic components. This adds a physical dimension to the relationships within an ecosystem, influencing the dynamics of the community.
One important abiotic factor in freshwater ecosystems is temperature. Temperature influences the metabolic rates of organisms, as well as the solubility of gases and nutrients in water. Changes in temperature can have significant impacts on the overall health and biodiversity of a freshwater ecosystem.
The role played by abiotic factors are pretty simple; In ecology and biology, abiotic factors are non living chemical and physical factors available naturally in the environment which affect the ecosystems. Abiotic factors are aspects of geodiversity. They can also be recognized as " abiotic pathogens"

Scientists call them ecosystems because they are all around the world an an ecosystem is made up of all biotic and abiotic factors.
Some abiotic factors are water, temperature, air, rocks, etc.
Biotic
An abiotic factor is a nonliving thing... So everything that isn't living...

Abiotic factors are non-living physical and chemical parts of the environment that affect ecosystems. Some abiotic factors for native forests are temperature, soil, water, sunlight and wind.
Ecosystems differ from a community in that they also contain abiotic factors like air, water, sunlight, and soil, which interact with the biotic components. This adds a physical dimension to the relationships within an ecosystem, influencing the dynamics of the community.
Abiotic factors in boreal ecosystems include temperature variations, precipitation levels, soil composition, and sunlight availability. These factors play a crucial role in shaping the ecosystem and influencing the distribution of plant and animal species within the region.
In Biology and ecology, abiotic components or abiotic factors are non-living chemical and physical parts of the environment that affect living organisms and the functioning of ecosystems. Abiotic factors and phenomena associated with them underpin all biology. abiotic factors include water, soil, sunlight, oxygen and,temperature
Abiotic and biotic factors interact directly in an ecosystem to keep it alive. This is the interaction of living things and non living things with a good example being organisms using water which is essential to life but has no life.
