Seed Update #4

Both abiotic factors and biotic factors are necessary for survival for our plant. Some abiotic factors that our seeds have are the type of soil,  quantity of water,  the exposure of sunlight and the temperature. The type of soil is essential because you have to have an essential amount in order for the plant to develop. The same goes for the amount of water.  The temperature would need to be in the plant's range in order for the plant to develop.  Some biotic factors that our plants need are humans and other living organisms. Humans and worms are needed in order to take care of the plant. For example, humans provide the water that is essential for a plant's development and the earthworms provide nutrients for the plant.

Plants are constantly competing with each other for survival. Most of the time, this is mainly for resources. A clue of competition among the plants are the size of the leaves, the height of the stem, and the roots. They would constantly compete for the essential sunlight which attracts the plant to make it grow towards that direction. The plant that receives the most amount of sunlight and care would grow somewhat taller than the others.

Winners and losers are determined during the competition for resources among at least organisms. The most simplest way of declaring the winners and losers among our plants is when one plant stays alive and when another plant dies. Most of the time, it isn't easy to declare the "real" winner or loser.  There could sometimes be multiple winners at one time or multiple losers. It could be hard determining the result because several factors may have contributed to the result. You won't realize the cause of the result without a  more in-depth observation.

Our plants could have other relationships in the ecosystem besides competition with fellow plants. Organisms like insects (which are parasites) could chew on the leaves, which won't benefit the plant. The plant would eventually repair itself. Other organisms like weeds (commensalism) could also absorb part of the bean plant's diet. The bean plant wouldn't be benefited nor harmed.

 As more interactions occur, organisms will start to have more relationships with the other organisms in the community. The organisms  will start depositing nutrients into the ground.  Simple plants such as weeds will start popping up and growing.  Over time, they will eventually  be more common around.
