1)Moisture level
7 of 10
Examples of abiotic factors are.....
1)Moisture level 2) Light intensity 3)Temperature 4) Carbon Dioxide level (for plants). 5) Wind intensity and direction 6) Oxygen level (for aquatic animals) 7) Soil pH and mineral content
8 of 10
Examples of biotic factors are.....
1) New predators arriving 2) Competition 3) New pathogens 4) Availability of food

Why is high biodiversity important?
It makes sure that ecosystems are stable because different species depend on each other
