Thebiotic factorsthey are the living components of ecosystems: living beings. The term can be used to speak of individuals as each organism that inhabits the system, globally as the total population that lives in the same area or place, or as a community with a group that has a characteristic or that establishes a relationship.

The biotic factorsBy their own definition, they are those that have life and therefore movement, therefore they must acquire energy (carry out a feeding process).

In this way it can be said that biotic factors are responsible for having a active behavior in the ecosystem, generating relationships through their own need for survival (this could be discussed in the case of humans, who expanded their needs beyond their own survival).

It is common for the biotic components of an ecosystem to be divided among the producer organisms of their own food (usually vegetables) consumers of food already produced (animals) and decomposers of dead animals (some mushrooms Y bacteria).

Theabiotic factors they have to do precisely with everything that is outside biotics, that is, everything that gives the ecosystem the characteristics that allow the life of the species that are related to it to be generated. Indispensably it will be elements that lack life, and therefore will not be responsible for the changes inside the ecosystem.

The action of living beings can have different effects on the abiotic factors of the ecosystem, even transforming it: however, since it is these factors that allow life, it is possible that a transformation produced by one species restricts the survival of another.

Around the preservation of certain abiotic factors, new relationships are frequently established within the ecosystem. When modification occurs, or when new organisms enter an already configured system, they may have to go through a adaptation process to the new conditions.
