Biotic factors are all living organisms that interact in an ecosystem. They include plants, animals, microorganisms, and any form of life present in a given place.
These living beings play a fundamental role in the balance and functioning of the ecosystem.
They interact with each other and with the physical environment, such as climate and soil, influencing the flow of energy and nutrients.
Biotic factors determine the biodiversity and dynamics of life in the ecosystem, being responsible for the food chain, pollination, decomposition of organic matter, and many other key interactions for the functioning of the ecosystem.
