Abiotic factors affect plants and animals every day, and most living things depend on some of those for survival. Some of these factors that affect our plant include rain, weather, and temperature. Rain and sun are both essential part of a plants life and without them, would die,but with too much of either will kill the plant.
I know that there is compote on for my plant because it is really small compared to the plants surrounding it.The plants around my plant are most likely taking the nutrients that my plant needs to grow bigger, causing it to stay the same size while the other plants grow bigger. My plant is competing for nutrients, water, sunlight, and room in the planter box.
The "winners" are those organisms that continue to grow and thrive while the "losers" are the ones that either die or do not grow and continue to be healthy. The line between "winners" and "losers" can be very small and not very clear. Sometimes it's between two thriving organisms which can make it hard to chose the "winner" and "loser".
Some other types of interaction that my plant is involved in are symbiosis, because of its close relationships with the insects that eat it and benefit from doing so, and parasitism, when animals and insects eat my plant limiting its chances at survival.
In the school garden, succession or something similar is occurring. Evidence, such as the fast growth of new plants and the replacement of grasses with larger plants, the brassica orelacea, both point to secondary succession happening.
