An example of a biotic factor is the extent ofpredationin an ecosystem. If there is an increase in the number of predators, predation activity would likely increase. This, in turn, could significantly lessen thepopulation densityof their prey. If their prey is akey species, meaning another gro...
We used content analysis to examine the sample of 182 projects. Content analysis is a systematic and repeatable examination of text to identify patterns and draw inferences about their meaning (Krippendorff2004; Riffe et al.2005). It allows one to reduce disparate and abundant information to a ma...

For example, two animal predators may consume different prey items, so they are less likely to compete ...
