1. Some examples of abiotic factors that affect our plant are things like how much sunlight it is getting, how much rain there is, and how many nutrients are in the soil. Some examples of biotic factors are things like animals who eat our plants and other competition.
2. Our plants are in competition because they are surrounded by many other plants. The competition is any other plant in close proximity. The plants are competing for water and nutrients in the soil.
3. Winners are defined as winners because they are the ones who receive more water and nutrients. Its not always clear as to who wins, because two plants in competition could receive almost the same amount of water and nutrients. One may see very similar growth between two plants, making it much harder to determine which plant is the "winner" and which one is a "loser".
4. Our plants are also involved in interaction with other animals. Animals who eat our plants are greatly affecting their growth, and the animals growth is affected too because they are the ones consuming our plants.
5. Secondary succession is shown in the garden. Last year, because of the severe drought, lots of plants didn't survive. But now, many plants are thriving out in the garden. This shows secondary succession because there is now lots of life where there wasn't last year because of the drought.
