One key factor that affects biotic potential is the availability of resources, such as food, water, and habitat space. When resources are abundant, populations can grow rapidly, increasing their reproductive rates and survival rates. Conversely, limited resources can hinder population growth and reduce the overall biotic potential of a species. Other factors, such as reproductive strategies and environmental conditions, also play a role in determining biotic potential.

The interaction of abiotic and biotic factors in an environment constitutes an ecosystem. Abiotic factors are non-living components like sunlight, water, temperature, and soil, while biotic factors are living organisms like plants, animals, and microorganisms. The combination of these factors plays a crucial role in shaping the structure and function of an ecosystem.
To estimate the biotic potential of an apple orchard, one would consider factors such as the reproductive rate of the apple trees, which can produce hundreds of apples each season, and the favorable environmental conditions like soil quality, water availability, and climate. Additionally, assessing the genetic diversity of the trees, pest resistance, and management practices (like pruning and fertilization) can influence their growth and reproduction. By analyzing these factors, one can gauge the maximum capacity of the orchard to reproduce under optimal conditions.
Biotic potential measures the maximum reproductive capacity of a population under ideal conditions. It is useful for living things because it helps determine the population growth rate and potential for species to thrive in a given environment. Understanding biotic potential can provide insight into how species may respond to changes in their habitat or population dynamics.
The carrying capacity effects the interactions with environment just like the limiting factors effect interactions with environment.
Biotic-Biotic interactions, are interactions of non-living things :)

The S curve represents the result of environmental resistance. The research compares the population size to the time in which it took for environment to be effected.
a peach has a higher biotic potential because it takes longer for a peach to grow because of the tree.

carrying capacity is the largest number of individuals of one species that an environment can support. Biotic potential is the potential growth of a population if it could grow in perfect conditions with no limiting factors.

True. The interaction of abiotic (non-living) and biotic (living) factors in an ecosystem shapes the environmental conditions which can be suitable for some organisms to thrive while being unsuitable for others. Organisms have specific adaptations that help them survive within the constraints of their environment.
Biotic Potential.
Pigs have a greater biotic potential compared to rhinos. This means that they can produce more offspring in the same amount of time.
