An Abiotic factor that our Brussel sprouts depends on for survival is water. Water is a non living factor to the environment and everything in it. Plants and animals depend on it to survive animals to hydrate and help there prey/food grow and plants for the process of photosynthesis. A Biotic factor that some plants depend on for survival is human impact. Some plants depend on human impact get water and to be fed and grow in a healthy environment.
Our plants are engaged in competition because there are multiple plants in one area and some plants are doing much better than others. Our plants are competing for room for their roots to grow, soil nutrients, water, and sunlight. Our plants are in completion with the other plants in it's garden bed competing for resources to survive.
Winners and losers in this completion are determined by what plant grows and what plants don't. The winners and losers aren't always crystal clear even though sometimes they can be. This is true because some plants can grow better than the others but the loser might get just enough nutrients to survive or grow.
An interaction that occurs with our Brussel sprouts is parasitism an example of this in the garden the caterpillars are eating their way through our plant's leaves riddling them with holes. Parasitism is when one organism depends on or lives on another organism and harms or kills the other organism without benefiting it. Different caterpillars harms plants more than others but they all feed on plant leaves in groups eating through the leaves leaving significant damage and in some cases if not controlled will kill the plant.
Both Primary and Secondary Succession is occurring in in the garden. Primary Succession is going on the rock around the garden because there is lichen growing on the surface creating the start of soil. Secondary Succession is happening in the barren garden beds where past projects that have died from previous years once grew. I know this because there is already soil in the bed and an ecosystem is starting to be created because there are patches of weeds starting to grow with insects in the area too.
