factors capable of limiting the practice of division of labour


Any biotic or abiotic factors that controls the growth of organisms in a given area are called?

These factors are called limiting factors. Limiting factors are elements within an ecosystem that restrict the growth, abundance, or distribution of an organism or a population. They include both biotic factors (e.g., competition, predation) and abiotic factors (e.g., temperature, water availability).


What is a salt marsh?

A salt marsh is a coastal ecosystem that is flooded and drained by saltwater brought in by the tides. They are characterized by grasses, herbs, and low shrubs that are adapted to live in saline conditions. Salt marshes play a key role in providing habitat for various species, protecting coastlines from erosion, and filtering pollutants from the water.


Why are the abiotic factors important to the saltwater marsh plants and algae?

Abiotic factors, such as salinity, temperature, light, and water availability, are crucial for saltwater marsh plants and algae as they directly influence their growth and survival. Salinity affects osmotic balance, requiring these organisms to develop adaptations for salt tolerance. Temperature impacts metabolic processes, while light availability is essential for photosynthesis. Together, these factors shape the biodiversity and productivity of saltwater marsh ecosystems.
