My is the bass Research and describe the biotic and abiotic factors that work together to create your animal’s habitat. You must research and describe at least 5 total factors, maybe 2 from biotic and 3 from abiotic. You mix how you choose as long as you have a mix of biotic and abiotic totaling 5! Look at the last 2 bullet points below for help.
Describe the impact of your vertebrate (animal) on humans.
Describe humans’ impact on your vertebrate.
You must use at least 2 different resources to find your information.
Biotic Factors to explore--- predators, food preferences and supply, population density (how many of that population in that habitat), other species with which your vertebrate interacts in its habitat (think about your symbiotic relationships-mutualism, commensalism, parasitism), disease
Abiotic Factors to explore---temperature range, precipitation, water, topography (what are the land features-hilly, mountainous, flat, combination), wind, shelter, nesting site and place to raise young, escape routes from predators

Relevance

The scope of abiotic and biotic factors spans across the entire biosphere, or global sum

of all ecosystems. Such factors can have relevance for an individual within a species,

its community or an entire population. For instance, disease is a biotic factor affecting

the survival of an individual and its community. Temperature is an abiotic factor with the

same relevance.

Some factors have greater relevance for an entire ecosystem. Abiotic and biotic factors

combine to create a system or, more precisely, an ecosystem, meaning a community of

living and nonliving things considered as a unit. In this case, abiotic factors span as far

as the pH of the soil and water, types of nutrients available and even the length of the

day. Biotic factors such as the presence of autotrophs or self-nourishing organisms

such as plants, and the diversity of consumers also affect an entire ecosystem.

Influencing Factors

Abiotic factors affect the ability of organisms to survive and reproduce. Abiotic limiting

factors restrict the growth of populations. They help determine the types and numbers

of organisms able to exist within an environment.

Biotic factors are living things that directly or indirectly affect organisms within an

environment. This includes the organisms themselves, other organisms, interactions

between living organisms and even their waste. Other biotic factors include parasitism,

disease, and predation (the act of one anim
