Abiotic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abiotic factors are the non-living factors of the Earth which affect the ability of living organisms to survive in an environment. These can include both physical and chemical factors.
The main factors affecting the growth of plants and where they grow can be associated with abiotic factors rather than biotic factors, which contribute less to their existence.
Physical abiotic factors include soil, weather, and the availability of consumable water, nutrients. Natural disasters can also be considered abiotic, these can also be the providors of water, nutrients, and alter the sunlight available.
Chemical factors include the amount of sunlight and the pH level of the soil.
