Resources for an organism’s habitat, including space, food, shelter, and water, may be limited or depleted by competition. Two species cannot operate in the same niche in the same environment.
Organisms rely on natural resources in their environment such as quantity of light, water supply, and suitable temperature.
Competition occurs when niches overlap and organisms seek the same resources, especially when the population density is high.
How do organisms depend on abiotic and biotic factors to survive?
