Explain how the abiotic components in each area determined what type of plants and animals lived there.

Biology

Answer:

Abiotic components of an ecosystem are water, air, light, soil, and temperature.

Now think about how the availability of these things will affect what could live in a specific area.

Consider a desert ecosystem. Deserts are arid, receiving little rain (water) and have extreme temperatures (both cold and hot). Because of these conditions only certain plants and animals can live here. These plants and animals have adaptations that are specific to the environment. If you were to put an organism that does not belong in there, they would most likely die out.

Tidbit for you. The Atacama desert is one of the driest places in the world, located specifically in Chile. At one point, this place did not receive any rain for 500 years! Still plants and animals are able to live in this area. When it finally did rain, the sudden downpour caused a radical change in this ecosystem. You would think at first rain would be good, but no. Because the changes the rain brought was too drastic, it caused a devastating effect on the organisms that lived there because they were not adapted to rain.

Who is studying animals in the wild considered to be somewhat experimentally out of control
KIM [24]

Studying animals in the wild is considered somewhat experimentally out of control because of several reasons.  

<u>Explanation:</u>

Study of wild animals can be done using several methods but none will be as effective as studying captivated animals. Using stationary cameras is a method to observe animals in the wild. The stationary nature of the camera makes it necessary for the animals to appear within the field of the camera.

This is difficult in places of low animal density. In addition to that placing camera at a longer distance to watch a larger area decreases the resolution of the images. When it comes to shallow water systems, the field imagery used to track the aquatic species frequently gets affected by issues like sun flicker.  

Unmanned aerial vehicles can also be used to track and study animals in the wild. This is good alternative but filming through dense canopies or turbid water is a limitation. Bio loggers can also be used for animal tracking but it is limited by weight since it has to be carried by animals.
