Ecological Analysis of the Garden and Our Plants

           Our plants depend on abiotic, like certain weather, and biotic factors, like living creatures, to survive. A plant needs sun and warmth to grow and other animals in the ecosystem are need to help reproduce. However, not all animals are good for the plants; some are competition. You can tell the some animals have been eating the plants. The other plants are also competition because they all want to get as much nutrients as possible. The winner in these situations would be the plants that grow to their full potential, but sometimes it is hard to tell because a plant may not seem like it is failing to survive at first when it really is. Animals, like insects for example, help plants reproduce by spreading pollen from one plant to another. Secondary succession is occurring in our garden because new plants are growing in the soil where old plants once were.
