Ecology Open Response

Every ecosystem has a limited amount of resources. Some of these resources may be biotic and others abiotic, but the resources in any given ecosystem will have an effect on the organisms living there. A.) For an ecosystem of your choice, list two resources (one biotic and one abiotic). B.) Explain why each resource would negatively impact that ecosystem if it were to disappear. Support your answer with cause and effect examples.
