Flexi Says: The environment includes two types of factors: abiotic and biotic.
Abiotic factors are the nonliving aspects of the environment. They include factors such as sunlight, soil, temperature, and water.
Biotic factors are the living aspects of the environment. They consist of other organisms, including members of the same and different species.
An ecosystem is a unit of nature and the focus of study in ecology. It consists of all the biotic and abiotic factors in an area and their interactions.
