Blog #11


Blog #11 Describe 3 abiotic factors that could affect biotic potential (population growth) and how they would affect it.

Pollution- pollution produced by humans activies affects the population and biotic potential greatly. Global warming for example, which is caused by humans change the environment that animals live i and can cause them to go extinct. Polar bears, for example are already dying off because global warming is causing the ice caps to melt.
Humidity- it is also another factor that affects animals and population. Some plants are mostly water starved, so humidity plays a large role in their biology.
Pressure- an abiotic factor that mostly affects underwater sea animal population. Marine biomes are affected because many sea organisms can only survive under a certain amount of pressure.
