Ecology is the study of the relationships between biotic and abiotic factors in environments. An ecosystem includes all abiotic and biotic factors in a particular environment. Biotic factors are the living parts of an ecosystem, such as plants, animals, and fungi. Abiotic factors are the nonliving parts, including air, water, soil, temperature, and wind. Biotic and abiotic factors interact with each other in complex ways and ecosystems can change daily due to these factors.
