Exploring Ecosystem Components: Biotic & Abiotic Interactions

Uncover the intricate web of relationships in ecosystems, where living and nonliving elements coexist harmoniously. Discover the roles of biotic (plants, animals, microorganisms) and abiotic (sunlight, rainfall, soil) factors in shaping ecosystems. Learn how these elements collaborate to sustain life and create diverse habitats. Explore the impact of climate on pond ecosystems and understand the vital role weather patterns play in nurturing biodiversity. Delve into the fascinating world of interactions that drive ecosystem dynamics.

  3. What is an ecosystem? • Ecosystem- made up of all the interacting parts of an environment. • Large or small, ecosystems are made up of living and nonliving things.

  4. What is an ecosystem? • Biotic factors- living things that shape an ecosystem. • Examples- plants, animals, and microorganisms

  5. What is an ecosystem? • Abiotic factors- nonliving things in an environment. • Examples- rainfall, snow, ice, sunlight, soils

  6. What is an ecosystem? • The abiotic and biotic factors in an ecosystem work together. • For example, plants in a pond need a lot of water. • They also need a certain kind of soil to grow well.

  7. What is an ecosystem? • Pond animals need a special climate. • Climate describes the typical weather patterns of an area over time.
