Question

6. Why would decaying logs in the woods not be an abiotic factor? (5 points)

Answer 1

ABIOTIC factors are NON-LIVING factors.

When we're talking about decaying logs,
we're talking about LIVING, and organic things.

Two facts here:

1. Logs were once part of trees. Trees are living.
2. BACTERIA are what causes logs to decay. And bacteria are also living.

LIVING factors are called BIOTIC factors.
