Biotic factors are living organisms that typically contribute in some way to their environment. Some examples of Biotic factors include plants, animals, cells and they are typically producers, consumers or decomposes. Unlike Biotic factors, Abiotic factors are the non-living part of an ecosystem. They are typically chemical or physical, some abiotic factors include water, sunlight, soil, and temperature. Both Biotic and Abiotic factors are required in an ecosystem to properly function.
