Other abiotic components include the temperature, rocks, soil, mud, human trash/waste, sunlight, and moisture. The abiotic components are just as important as the biotic components in the micro ecosystem. The biotic components need the correct weather conditions to survive, which include the temperature, precipitation, and sunlight. The rocks, soil, and mud on the other hand are not living, but they provide a place for organisms to grow, live, and thrive. Finally, the trash located in my area, negatively impacted the ecosystem. The trash could pollute the area, or kill of living organisms my digestion or suffocation. This small five square meter area had a tremendous amount of life, and progressed very well throughout the year.
My small micro ecosystem was a habitat (place where an organism lives) to many organisms both big and small. The list of inhabitants includes the numerous bugs, birds, fish, insects, and many species of plants. These examples where the organisms that were viewed throughout the course of the observations, but also various organism were not view, either because they are at the microscopic level or that the were submerged beneath the ground. .
My area bordered the lake, so light was always present even if it was not direct light. From about mid-day on, my location was directly in the path of the suns rays. All life in my micro ecosystem starts with the presents of this light. The producers need it to survive and create food for those consumers who are further up the food chain. The temperature had a tremendous effect on my location. The aquatic portion of my area shut down after the first layer of ice formed on the lake. As the temperature lowered from the fall going into the winter, all life seemed to disappear, and everything went dormant for the winter. As the snow fell and winter progressed, there were still no signs of significant life. Along with the light, moisture affects the ecosystem in a similar way.
