Meaning
The aspects of an environment that can change the features of an organism or the features of a community within an ecosystem.
About Environmental Factors and Organisms
- Drought can cause plants to wilt.
- Poor nutrition can lead to an organism not growing as large as it would with good nutrition. The height of humans is affected by environmental factors.
- Sunlight can cause a humans skin to become darker.
About Environmental Factors and Communities
- Drought can cause plants to grow more slowly. This leads to the primary consumers dying from starvation when there is not enough food. This will briefly create more food for the secondary consumers but will then reduce when the population of primary consumers has decreased.
- Flooding can drown animals which may reduce the number of primary consumers allowing more producers to grow, without being eaten, after the flooding.
