Aquatic Biomes
Lionfish
Some biotic factors that affect aquatic biomes are aquatic animals(sharks, fish, dolphins, eels) and vegetation(kelp, seaweed, phytoplankton). Interactions are important to maintain the balance within different populations. For example, if the population of the lionfish decreased greatly, the shrimp(their main diet) population might increase greatly. This would throw off the balance of the food chain in that location.
Abiotic factors that affect aquatic biomes include salinity, dissolved gases, pH, organic substances, temperature, sunlight, wind, rocks, and soil. Dissolved gases influences fish respiration, and organic substances means the vitamins, dead organisms, and body process products that are in the water.

Land Biomes

The biotic factors that affect land biomes include people, animals, plants, and how they all interact. A few abiotic factors are solar energy, climate, topography, soil, and pollution. The relationship between abiotic and biotic factors is also important on land. For example, if pollution fills the air constantly in one location, the plants and animals might no be able to thrive or even survive like they could in an area with cleaner air.
