How do abiotic and biotic factors affect organisms within the food chain and webs?

Abiotic factors, such as temperature, water, and soil nutrients, influence the growth and survival of organisms, affecting their availability as food sources within food chains and webs. Biotic factors, including competition, predation, and symbiOSis, shape interactions among organisms, determining their roles and population dynamics in ecosystems. Together, these factors dictate the structure and stability of food chains and webs, impacting energy flow and nutrient cycling within ecosystems. Changes in either set of factors can lead to shifts in species composition and ecosystem health.
