Pines, spruces, and firs are conifers
Living things in the environment such as plants, animals, and bacteria are biotic factors. Biotic factors also include once-living parts such as dead leaves on the forest floor. Abiotic factors are nonliving aspects of the environment such as sunlight, temperature and water. One important abiotic factor is soil.
All of Darwin’s observations would prove this theory true.
The right answer is c. 3 to 10 million
The latest estimates are a bit more precise: there are 8.7 million living species (which is included in the range between 3 and 10 million), 6.5 million on land and 2.2 million in the water. Which is amazing, since there is more sea than land on our planet.
Researchers estimate that there are 7.77 million animal species, only 298,000 plant species and 611,000 species of fungi and molds.
