Biotic and Abiotic Factors in a Concept Map
Biotic and abiotic factors are the two main groups of influences in an ecosystem. Biotic factors are living things, such as plants, animals, fungi and bacteria. Abiotic factors are nonliving physical and chemical conditions, such as sunlight, water, temperature, soil and air. A concept map shows how these two groups interact.
- Biotic factors: producers, consumers, decomposers and their interactions
- Abiotic factors: light, water, temperature and soil
- Climate: how temperature and rainfall shape which organisms can live somewhere
- Nutrient cycles: how air, water and soil supply matter to living things
Use the map to review each factor, its examples and how it links to others. When you are ready, CogniGuide can build a personalized biotic and abiotic map from your own notes.

Biotic and Abiotic Factors FAQ
Common questions about ecosystem factors and making your own map.
What is the difference between biotic and abiotic factors?
Biotic factors are living or once-living parts of an ecosystem, such as plants, animals and microbes. Abiotic factors are nonliving parts, such as sunlight, water, temperature, soil and minerals.
Can a factor be both biotic and abiotic?
No. Each factor belongs to one group. However, living and nonliving factors often affect each other, such as plant roots changing soil composition.
Which files can I use to make a biotic and abiotic map?
You can upload a PDF, Word or PowerPoint file, a text or Markdown file, or an image. You can also type the topic directly.
Can I turn the map into a quiz?
Yes. Once the map is created, you can turn it into a quiz to test your knowledge of each factor. The free plan includes 5 creations a week.
