AS: but don't forget plants are biotic. so all that's left is rocks, sand, water, shells, gravel, and the sun. so most of this stuff helps helpless animals hide from predators. [answered by a 5th grader]

What are the biotic and abiotic factors of a everglades ecosystem?
Biotic factors are the living components that affect a marine organism. What it eats, what eats it, how it mates and produces young. Activities like how it reproduces includes gestation time, parental care, gamete dispersal method, fertilization and dormancy. What diseases is it subject to and parasites are biotic factors. How mobile is it, what territory is able to cover, does it migrate or is it sedentary. (Nekton are free swimming or mobile organisms including fish, whales and krill but plankton are passive, they just drift with ocean currents.) Is it social in a school or pod to share in safety or hunting? Is it shore dwelling, or living in the deep water. Benthic organisms are bottom dwelling, they live either on the seabed or in the sediment. They can be attached & sessile or mobile bottom feeders and some do both by having a mobile juvenile stage. Abiotic marine factors include: Geography or topography underwater (plateau, valley, mountain and their slope, < 3% to > 10%). Plate tectonics. Temperature of air and water and their interactions. Latitude & seasonal periodicity to effect total amount of sunlight. Weather patterns (wind and water currents). Pedology (soil formation or weathering process) bedrock mineral content & sedimentation, age of formation, under water "climate". Wave action changes the amount of O2 dissolved in the water and the shore's shape. Chemistry including pollutants, pH, and salinity factors like fresh water influx with solutes and sediments.
What are the biotic factors of fresh water biomes?
First off, the biotic factors are the LIVING things, not the non-living That's abiotic. Some biotic factors are the fish like minnows, bass, and catfish at the top. The producers would be the algae and plants and grass. Insects and snails would be classified as primary consumers, the middle, not producers, but not at the top of the chain either. That's all I really know, !!!
How does global warming affect the marine biome?
it is incresing the average sea temperature and changing the pattern of the sea currents
What do enviromental scientists study?
Environmental scientists study the natural environment and how it is affected by human activities. They investigate various aspects of the environment, such as air and water quality, soil health, biodiversity, climate change, and the impact of pollution and resource use. They use scientific methods and data analysis to understand and address environmental problems and develop solutions for sustainable management practices.

How are ecosystems named?
Ecosystems can be named in two ways; biotic or abiotic.... Either 1) Based on the abiotic environment (Eg. Freshwater Marine) 2) Based on the primary/dominant biotic organisms/species in the community
What is a marine ecologist?
Marine Ecology is the scientific study of marine-life habitat, populations, and interactions among organisms and the surrounding environment including their abiotic (non-living physical and chemical factors that affect the ability of organisms to survive and reproduce) and biotic factors (living things or the materials that directly or indirectly affect an organism in its environment).
What is the abiotic factor that affect sandy beach ecosystems?
The 'littoral zone' is one of them, but this depends upon who is using the definitions of the zones. The US Army Corps of Engineers, The US Navy, and the Environmental Protection Agency each have their own definitions, with legal implications. See the Related Link listed below for more information:
