Joe's journal #4

Some abiotic factors are the soil and the water and even us because since we are in such a long an huge drought we are now watering the plants and the sky is not. Some abiotic factors that affect the plant in a negative way are caterpillars and also the wind can affect the plant because it can throw up the plant from the soil and therefore kill the plant.

The plants are competing for water from other plants and we can tell this because some plants are bigger than others which tells us that the plants are always in competition for water and sunlight which happens 24/7.

For my observations I believe that the plants have winners and losers because of the death of the plant and because if they do not have as much sunlight they will the  not grow as fast and therefore lose to the competing plant.

They can be involved in in the air that they produce which can be an interaction and also nitrogen going into the roots. The interaction ends up bad for the nitrogen because it is basically killed in the process.

I believe that the garden plants are undergoing secondary succession because we could end the plants life like that in the snap of a finger.
