1. Some abiotic factors include the amount of rainfall, amount of sunlight, and the amount of nitrogen and carbon in the soil. Some biotic factors are competition between other plants and animals that can eat the plant.
2. I know our plants are engaged in competition with other plants and weeds because they are growing taller and stronger to be taller than the other plants around it. The plants are competing to be the tallest so they can get most of the sunlight instead of the other plants around them.
3. Right now, both our plants and the weeds are currently the winners because they are both thriving and both are very healthy. It isn't always clear who the winners and losers are because both plants are thriving in different areas. Our plants are successfully living with the weeds in the area, but the weeds cover a greater area and could possibly move into the area where our plants are.
4. Our plants interact with the environment by having worms and chickens turn the soil near them to bring new nutrients the plants need closer and easier to get. The turning of soil may not seem like much, but it can help out the plant a lot by providing new nutrients for the plants.
5. There is some evidence that secondary succession is taking place in the garden. There are small organism living in the soil and as plants die, they get decomposed into the soil, providing nutrients for the plants that are still alive.
