Abiotic factors (non-living things) in a tropical rainforest include temperature, humidity, soil composition, air, and many others. A few of the many biotic factors (living things) in that forest are toucans, frogs, snakes and anteaters.All of the biotic factors are dependent upon the abiotic factors.very environment contains what are called 'biotic' and 'abiotic' factors. In this lesson you will learn the definition and importance of abiotic factors. You will also view some examples of abiotic factors that are present in the tropical rainforest.
Temperate rain forests are found on the western coast of North and South America, along the Pacific Ocean. They are cooler and drier than tropical rain forests. Abiotic factors, or nonliving factors, of a temperate rain forest include temperature, water, cloud cover, soil and light. These abiotic factors interact with biotic, or living factors, to form the rain forest's unique ecosystem. Abiotic factors influence what type of living organisms survive in temperate rain forests.
