Importance of Biotic Factors

Any living organism found on our planet interacting with each other and inhabiting a geographical space It is a biotic factor ready to decisively affect the various members of the ecosystem, and will affect essential processes of any living being such as: survival, evolution and reproduction.

Essential agents that bring balance and health to the planet

They are directly responsible for the functioning of the food chain and the decomposition of waste materials, thus contributing to produce energy, and at the same time, to avoid pollution of the environment.

For example, any type of modification that they suffer, or their elimination, will imply a problem for the balance, health, and continuity of the ecosystem to which they belong.

It is important to note that biotic factors cannot exist without the abiotic factors (soil, air, water...), clearly, an animal or a plant will die without taking any action to prevent it if they lack air or water.

Biotics and abiotics, an intense and inseparable relationship

Although they do not have life in themselves, abiotic factors are essential for the development and survival of biotics, without them Abiotic factors would never exist, and if the first ones suffer some type of alteration, the others will be affected. also.

Among the main problems that affect all these factors today we have to mention environmental pollution and the climate change, caused by the negligent action of man or by his desire for economic gain.

Pollution and climate change, its great threats

When we talk about pollution, we refer to the alteration of the natural conditions of the environment by the action of foreign agents that can affect the soil, water, and atmosphere.

Flagrantly, the ground we walk on, the air we breathe, and the water we drink are contaminated by chemical compounds that can take centuries to decompose.

They are the direct result of the lifestyle that we lead, very little responsible to the planet by the way, of the action of the industry and the speed of cars.

For its part, climate change is an emblematic case that demonstrates the adverse modification suffered by many ecosystems on the planet in which Animals, plants and many other living organisms must readapt to the new conditions, and in the event that they cannot do so, as happens to many, die.

The need to promote a sustainable production and consumption model for the environment

Although there are natural factors that modify the climate, there is a scientific consensus that supports the idea that the way production and consumption of energy that we support is the one that is producing the global climatic disturbance.

It is essential that human beings promote the conservation of environmental balance because without it there will be no life for no one tomorrow, we absolutely depend on the ecosystem and its harmonious functioning to continue living, breathing.

If the negligent practices continue and the deterioration is not stopped, the species that populate the planet will become completely extinct, reaching a point of irreversible environmental damage to which a negative impact on the systems will inevitably be added socioeconomic.
