==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
'''Abiotic environmental factors''' are the conditions of a [[habitat]] that are not caused by other [[organism]]s.
===About Abiotic Environmental Factors===
'''Abiotic environmental factors''' can include:
*Drought
*Flooding
*High Temperatures
*Low Temperatures
*Amount of Sunlight
*Salt concentration in water and soil
===Examples===
: Drought is an [[Abiotic Environmental Factor|abiotic factor]] which can cause [[plant]]s to grow more slowly. This leads to the [[Primary Consumer|primary consumer]]s dying from starvation when there is not enough food. This will briefly create more food for the [[Secondary Consumer|secondary consumers]] but will then reduce when the [[population]] of [[Primary Consumer|primary consumer]]s has decreased.
: Flooding is an [[Abiotic Environmental Factor|abiotic factor]] which can drown [[animal]]s which may reduce the number of [[Primary Consumer|primary consumer]]s allowing more [[producer]]s to grow, without being eaten, after the flooding.
