Distribution and Abundance of organisms is determined by:
AbioticAbiotic factors: non-living chemical and factors: non-living chemical and physical factors such as temperature, light, physical factors such as temperature, light, water, and nutrientswater, and nutrients
BioticBiotic factors: the living components factors: the living components

Factors Affecting the Distribution of Organisms
Species Dispersal, Biotic Factors, Abiotic Factors, Behavior and Habitat Selection

Factors Affecting the Distribution of Organisms-Introduced Species or Non-native species - newbies to an area
Abiotic factors: temp, light, wind, water (these 4 make up climate), oxygen, salinity, pH, fire, moisture, rocks/soil…
Biotic factors: competition, predation, disease, …

-Species Dispersal - Can the species ‘get’ to a particular location?
-Habitat Selection - Even if the habitat is suitable, does the species“select” it to breed/build nests…
-Behavior - Is the behavior of the species amenable to its spreadingin the chosen location?
-Abiotic Factors - Are the nonliving factors condusive?
-Biotic Factors - Are the living factors condusive?
-For each of the three examples: identify which of these made it easyto colonize/immigrate and distribute in a new location

Tens Rule - Only 1 out of 10 introduced species make it!

Aquatic Biomes: Algal Blooms
Algae eventually die and sink to bottom
Bacteria grow in large numbers and reduce oxygen available to all life forms in the water
Eutrophication (addition of fertilizers) causes algal blooms
Algae start reproducing heavily due to increase in nutrients (fertilizers) or temperature
