A biotic factor is a living thing that has an impact on another population of living things or on the environment. Abiotic factors do the same thing, but they are non-living. Together, biotic and abiotic factors make up an ecosystem. To survive, biotic factors need abiotic factors.
1. One of the main reasons for the extinction of the trees in the Eastern Island is the extinction or sudden demise of the birds that carried the seeds to different places. Some of the human activities would have also led to the process of extinction, like the trees were being cut to construct canoes and to use as tools in order to erect statues, and to burn them for warmth.
2. There was a need to farm the trees and manage them in a proper framework. For example, if one is having 100 trees, then one should use 33 and then plant 33 seeds, and should always keep 34 intact. One should have not used all the trees at once.
This process is called passive transport or facilitated diffusion, and does not require energy. The solute can move ''uphill'', from regions of lower to higher concentration. This process is also called active transport, and requires some form of chemical energy.
