Six abiotic factors
How are nonliving things different from dead things?
Nonliving- things that have never lived or shown life
Dead- things that were part of something living (plant or animal), but now show no sign of life
Limiting Factors- any abiotic or biotic factor that restricts the numbers, reproduction, or distribution of organisms (we will revisit later)
Think about how all the biotic and abiotic factors interact in one small community
