List and discuss the different abiotic factors that affect the ecosystem.

Water, pH, soil composition and light.

Explanation:

The abiotic factors include the non-living composition of the ecosystem. Various abiotic factors of the ecosystem are as follows:

Light: The amount of light decides the growth pattern of various plants and animals of a ecosystem. Short day pants require light for short time only.

Water: Water is important for all the essential activities of life. Excess water may cause flood like condition and water scarcity leads to the drought conditions in the ecosystem.

pH: The pH is also an important factor that can affect the ecosystem. Most of the plants are water sensitive and grow at specific pH only. The pH of water determines the aquatic life of the ecosystem.

Soil composition: The soil of an ecosystem decides the type of vegetation that an ecosystem can sustain. The disturbance in the soil composition can destroy the life in the ecosystem.
