<span>A stem is one of two main structural axes of a vascular plant, the other being the root. The stem is normally divided into nodes and internodes. The nodes hold buds which grow into one or more leaves, conifer cones, roots, other stems, or flowers (inflorescences); the internodes distance one node from another.</span>
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Seasonal variations of climate impact the state of an ecosystem. In areas that experience a cold season, some elements of the ecosystem change their residence or even hibernate to survive. Succession can be considered a higher state of development of the ecosystem.
Good luck!
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer: They do affect the health of an ecosystem.
Explanation: In an ecosystem there are many things that are biotic and abiotic. For an example: water is abiotic and plants/animals are all biotic, the water is not living but it keeps the ecosystem alive by quenching the thirst of the plants growing from the ground and the animals roaming around on the land. Dead animals and plants are not abiotic and they are now providing food for fungi and bacteria. Without the abiotic factors, it would be difficult for the biotic to survive. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Her conclusion is invalid because using sand instead of soil slows down plant growth. Fertilizer, on its own, does not 'greatly' increase the size of the plant.
The correct way to do this experiment would be to keep all other parameters same, except the fertilizer. This will give her accurate results.
