Use the below figure to address the following question. There are three main effects on communities and the abiotic environment when this occurs, such as when a continuous forest is reduced to small sections. Below, identify and explain two of these effects. 1831 1882 1902 1950 Fig. 1-1. Changes in wooded area of Cadiz Township, Green County, Wisconsin, during the period of European settlement. The shaded areas represent the land remaining in, or reverting to, forest in 1882, 1902, and 1950. (From Curtis 1956, by permission of the University of Chicago Press.)

1. Another abiotic factor which affects ecosystems is the slope of the land. For example, is it flat or are there hills or mountains. How would you describe the land in the grassland ecosystem? How do you think this contour affects the ecosystem?

Part A The abiotic factors of an ecosystem are its nonliving components that affect life, including physical and chemical factors.

Most ecosystems on earth are powered by energy, which drives photosynthesis in plants and algae. 2. are elements required for growth and can affect the ability of an ecosystem to sustain life. 3. can be important in shaping terrestrial ecosystems by allowing animals to cool and even influencing the way plants grow. 4. In prairie grasslands, periodic is an important disturbance, allowing for certain plants to be triggered to grow. 5. limits the distribution of organisms that can survive in a given habitat based on how hot or cold it gets. 6. is essential to life because it makes up the majority of all cells.
