Analysis of the Garden and our Plants

 Some of the abiotic factors that our plant depend on for survival, are sunlight, temperature, and the amount of water it gets. The biotic factors that affect the plant include animals and other plants. Our plants are in competition with the larger plants around it. Our plants are a little smaller than the others so it has to compete for sunlight and space. Usually the way “winners” and “losers” are determined is by size. The larger plants over power the smaller ones, and the smaller ones end up not surviving. However, it doesn't always happen that way, it depends on the plants and the environment. Another type of interaction is plant and animal interaction. Animals like caterpillars use the plants for food. This can affect the plant by making it weaker. Succession is the process of change in an ecological community. I think in our garden secondary succession is happening.
