Question

Explain how fluctuations in abiotic cycles can influence populations

Answer 1

The fluctuations in abiotic cycles can influence the population in many ways. The population of a particular area depends on the various abiotic cycles such as nitrogen cycle, carbon cycle, phosphorous cycle. The changes in these cycles affects the life of population. Fluctuation results in hibernation of species. Some of the organisms migrate to another place in search of normal environment. The early breeding results in creating problems. It disturbs the ecological balance by using the limited supply of resources. The fluctuation in phosphorous cycle can affect the aquatic population. As the dependency of population on abiotic cycles is as important as the biotic factors the fluctuations can cause many problem.

Answer 2

Populations are influenced by fluctuations in any of the abiotic cycles. The fluctuations of seasonal cycles can cause populations to hibernate, migrate, or breed. Organisms breed as a result of seasonal fluctucations that cause them to have a limited resource supply. Fluctuations in the phosphorus cycle can cause changes to aquatic ecosystems, either positive or negative.
