Biotic components are the living things that shape an ecosystem.

The biota, or biotic component of the Earth make up the biosphere.

The plants themselves (biotic components) cause succession to occur.

In contrast, autogenic succession is driven by the biotic components of the ecosystem.

These microorganisms also break down biotic components to produce ethanol, as well as methane byproduct.

Biotic components usually include:

Ecosystems are composed of a variety of abiotic and biotic components that function in an interrelated way.

Biotic components are contrasted to abiotic components, which are non-living components of an organism's environment, such as temperature, light, moisture, air currents, etc.

It has been long debated about how much of the weathering of the rock is due to biotic components and how much can be attributed to abiotic components.

A forest ecosystem is a natural woodland unit consisting of all plants, animals and micro-organisms (Biotic components) in that area functioning together with all of the non-living physical (abiotic) factors of the environment.

Ecosystem - biological system consisting of all the living organisms or biotic components in a particular area and the nonliving or abiotic component with which the organisms interact, such as air, mineral soil, water and sunlight.

Each biotic factor needs energy to do work and food for proper growth.

Climate, soil and biotic factors are the functions of natural vegetation.

The physical, chemical, and biotic factors that act upon an ecosystem:

Biotic factors are also capable of affecting plant growth.

The main biotic factors that affect population growth include:

After some time they are removed by biotic factors from the ground, at which stage a zone on the surface soil becomes visible.

A biotic factor would be someone building a dam that would slow the flow of a river or a creek.

Both abiotic and biotic factors may affect the frequency with which each phase occurs.

Biotic factors include human influence.

Examples of these biotic factors include:

Biotic factors include: structural complexity, food availability, larval settlement cues, competition, and predation.

Abiotic and biotic factors may work as co-factors in determining the ability of species to expand their range.

A biotic factor is any behavior of an organism that affects another organism, such as a predator consuming its prey.

At low vertical heights it is biotic factors, such as predation from crabs and intraspecific competition, which cause problems.

The distribution of species into clumped, uniform, or random depends on different abiotic and biotic factors.

Because carbon uptake in the terrestrial biosphere is dependent on biotic factors, it follows a diurnal and seasonal cycle.

Generally, reservoirs are abiotic factors whereas exchange pools are biotic factors.

There are a growing number of cases where predation by coastal herbivores including snails, geese and mammals appears to be a dominant biotic factor.

Abiotic factors tend to drive production in the estuarine environment, and are mediated by biotic factors.

Learning objectives include abiotic and Biotic factors, aquatic environments, and water protection and conservation, among other topics.

These can usually be differentiated from phyllody caused by biotic factors by the simultaneous presence of healthy and abnormal flowers.

Biotic factors, such as predation, disease, and competition for resources such as food, water, and mates, can also affect how a species is distributed.

This reduces the risk of abiotic factors, such as temperature, or biotic factors like predators affecting development of the offspring.

Human influence on abiotic and biotic factors such as sunlight and predator numbers can have a major influence on sunfish.

For example, biotic factors in a quail's environment would include their prey (insects and seeds), competition from other quail, and their predators, such as the coyote.
