Biotic components of ecosystem :
The living components of an ecosystem are termed as it's biotic components.

Examples:

  • Producers i.e green plants, green algae etc.

  • Consumers i.e human and other animals e.g rabbit, deer, dog, fish etc.

  • Decomposers i.e bacteria, fungi etc and many more...

Abiotic factors of ecosystem:
These constitute non-living components of an ecosystem.

  • Soil

  • Water

  • Wind

  • Temperature

  • Sunlight

  • Gases etc...

#Note:#
A specific interaction between biotic and abiotic factors sustains the ecosystem. Ecosystem = biotic + abiotic. And if we minus any of them then ecosystem couldn't exist.

Hope it helps...
