Any living factor that affects another organism or that shapes the ecosystem in some way
Abiotic factors
The non-living parts of the environment that can affect organisms
Abiotic factors
Light intensity
Temperature
Carbon dioxide concentrations
Moisture levels
Wind intensity and direction
pH
Mineral content of soil
Increase in temperature
Increases the rate of photosynthesis
Increase in temperature
Animals have to spend less energy staying warm, so they can use more energy for growth or spend less time searching for food
Biotic factors affecting a clownfish
Predation by bigger fish or eels
The sea anemone (habitat)
Competition for plankton and algae
Disease
Factors like light intensity and carbon dioxide concentration might not affect the clownfish directly, but they might affect other species around them like the sea anemone, which will in turn affect the clownfish
