Describe some improvements in the abiotic factors that support plant growth

Abiotic variables found in terrestrial ecosystems can include things like rain, wind, temperature, altitude, soil, pollution, nutrients, pH, types of soil, and sunlight. The boundaries of an individual abiotic factor can be just as unclear as the boundaries of an ecosystem.These are often referred to as abiotic factors. Abiotic factors are non-living elements found within an ecosystem. There are six abiotic factors that affect plant growth: air, water, space, temperature, light and soil (nutrients).The two most important abiotic factors affecting plant primary productivity in an ecosystem are temperature and moisture.

LEARNING OBJECTIVE[ edit ]

Identify the abiotic factors that affect plant growth

KEY POINTS[ edit ]

Primary production, on which almost all of life on earth is dependent, occurs through either photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.
Annual biomass production, used to estimate net primary productivity by plants in an area, is directly influenced by an environment's abiotic factors, which include temperature and moisture.
Warm and wet climates have the greatest amount of plant biomass because they offer conditions in which photosynthesis, plant growth, and the resulting net primary productivity are highest.
TERMS[ edit ]

biomass
the total mass of all living things within a specific area, habitat, etc.

eco-region
a region, smaller than an ecozone, that contains a distinct biodiversity of flora and fauna

chemosynthesis
the production of carbohydrates and other compounds using the oxidation of chemical nutrients as a source of energy rather than sunlight; it is limited to certain bacteria and fungi

Go Direct Force and Acceleration couples a 3-axis accelerometer with a stable and accurate force sensor that measures forces as small as ±0.1 N and up to ±50 N.

Getting Started

Please see the following link for platform-specific connection information:

www.vernier.com/start/gdx-for

Bluetooth Connection

USB Connection

Install Graphical Analysis 4 on your computer, Chromebook™, or mobile device. See www.vernier.com/ga4 for software availability.

Charge your sensor for at least 2 hours before first use.

Turn on your sensor by pressing the power button once. The Bluetooth® LED will blink red.

Launch Graphical Analysis 4.

Click or tap Sensor Data Collection.

Click or tap your Go Direct sensor from the list of Discovered Wireless Devices. Your sensor's ID is located near the barcode on the sensor. The Bluetooth LED will blink green when it is successfully connected.

This is a multi-channel sensor. The active channel is listed in the Connected Devices Sensor Channels list. To change channels, select the check box next to the Sensor Channel(s) you would like to activate.

Click or tap Done to enter data‑collection mode.

If using a computer or Chromebook, install Graphical Analysis 4. If using LabQuest 2, make sure LabQuest App is up to date. See www.vernier.com/ga4 for Graphical Analysis 4 availability or www.vernier.com/downloads to update LabQuest App.

Connect the sensor to the USB port.

Launch Graphical Analysis 4 or turn on LabQuest 2. You are now ready to collect data.

This is a multi-channel sensor. To change the default channel selections, see www.vernier.com/start/gdx-for

Charging the Sensor

Connect Go Direct Force and Acceleration to the included Micro USB Cable and any USB device for two hours.

You can also charge up to eight Go Direct Force and Acceleration Sensors using our Go Direct Charge Station, sold separately (order code: GDX-CRG). An LED on each Go Direct Force and Acceleration indicates charging status.
