Ecology Part 2Ecosystems
Factors that affect the Biodiversity of an Ecosystem•Weather and Climate•Biotic and Abiotic Factors•Community Interactions•Brainpop—Ecosystems!
Weather and Climate•Weather= Day to day condition of Earth’s atmosphere•Climate= Average conditions of temperature and precipitation of an area•Quickwrite•How do you think climate affects an ecosystem??
Biotic and Abiotic Factors•Biotic Factors—the living components of an
ecosystem•Abiotic Factors—the physical or nonliving components•Climate, temperature, humidity, wind, soil, sunlight,
etc•Ecosystem Video Clip –Biotic/Abiotic Chart•Quickwrite—how do Biotic Factors affect life in an

Community Interactions
CompetitionOrganisms compete
for the same resource within an ecosystem
PredationOne organism
captures and feeds on another organism
SymbiosisTwo species live closely together
(mutualism, commensalism,
parasitism)
INTERACTIVE Competition!1. Was it easier to catch the insects when you were competing with
the other lizards or when you had your own food source?2. When did you catch the most insects? The least? Why?3. How does competition affect the ecosystem?
