Biotic Resources And Abiotic Resources. Both biotic and abiotic natural resources support survival and reproduction of humans and other living organisms that exist on earth. Natural resources can be divided into biotic and abiotic natural resources.
Land water coal and oil are abiotic resources. Biotic means alive and abiotic means nonliving. Biotic factors depend on abiotic factors for survival and reproduction.
Organisms which interact with other organisms in an ecosystem like predators prey parasites competitors and symbionts are considered as biotic factors.
Biotic resources of the seas include fishes crustaceans molluscs corals reptiles and mammals etc. To start this lesson students will participate in a review game that covers definitions of biomes factors abiotic and biotic examples of each and a quick review of different salmon species. Biotic factors depend on abiotic factors for survival and reproduction. This lesson plan involves exploring abiotic and biotic factors in a biome that impact a species.
