Every ecosystem has two components, namely, biotic components and abiotic components. Biotic components refer to all living organisms in ecology while idiotically refer to the non-living things. These biotic and abiotic interactions maintain the equilibrium in the environment. Critical physical attributes include temperature, light, and hydrology as well as infrequent events that reshape ecological systems, such as fires, floods, and storms. An abiotic factor is a non-living part of an ecosystem that shapes its environment. In a terrestrial ecosystem, examples might include temperature, light, and water. In a marine ecosystem, abiotic factors would include salinity and ocean currents. Each environment has two components: biotic and abiotic factors. Abiotic factors refer to non-living life forms, and biotic components mean all living life forms in biology. These factors keep up the balance of the environment.
