One abiotic factor that our plant faces is the water. Water is non-living but is essential to all life on Earth, this plant is no different. if the plant doesn't get enough water then it will die, but if it gets too much water then it will also die. Its all about a perfect balance. A biotic factor that our Brussels Sprouts face are the other plants that our plant is growing next to. These other plants are all in competition to try to survive and and sometimes will end up getting another plant killed to survive. They might overcrowd a plant and take all its water, and while the first plant thrives the second is killed.
This is just how I explained earlier, plants are always in competition for the most sunlight, the most water, the cleanest air. Plants are always trying to get the best of everything because they're trying to survive just like everything else.
In nature this competition happens all the time and there is a very clear cut between winners and losers. Winners are able to grow and flourish being super heathy to live a full plant life, while losers die. This is for most cases but there definently some scenarios where it's not really clear who wins and who loses. And even sometimes there are no winners, only losers.
One interaction that our plants are involved in is getting eaten/parasitism. There are all sorts of animals living in gardens such as worms and caterpillars that live off of plants such as Brussels Sprouts. The caterpillars will eat all the plants leaves and seriously damage the plant or even kill it.
To me, it looks like some form of succession is occurring in the garden. It's hard to tell but I think it may be considered secondary succession as there is already soil there to start growing. You can see all these small types of plants beginning to grow in the garden along with some remaining lichens that are spread out on some rocks.
