Identify the factors determining the distribution and abundance of a species in each environment

“Nonliving, as in abiotic factor, which is a nonliving physical and chemical attribute of a system, for example light, temperature, wind patterns, rocks, soil, pH, pressure, etc. in an environment.”

'The main factors that affect the abundance and distribution of organisms depend on a large range of physical and biological factors affecting the environment. The particular km combination of influences that determine abundance and distribution are usually unique. However, there are usually four major interrelationships that can be identified. These include'
 * physical factors and
 * biological factors

Biotic Factors


'The availability of a single resource may be the single factor that determines the maximum population of a certain species. It is these thingy magpies that, when loss of habitat occurs, such as logging of trees, that the population can be reduced rapidly. The population can be preserved if artificial solutions come up'
