Some abiotic factors that our plant depends on are is the sunlight, the soil its planted in and the water it gets. The sunlight gives the plant the energy to photosynthesize. The soil gives the plant support for its roots, and it gives the plant nutrients. Then the water helps the plant survives. Some biotic factors that effect the plant is human activity and insects. Humans can accidentally step on plants causing the plant to die. And insects can eat plants.
Our plant is in competition with the plants around it for sunlight.
The plant that is bigger usually wins the competition for sunlight. It is sometimes hard to have a clear cut winner, but eventually you will see which plant better adapted to the conditions it was put in. Its hard to determine the winner because it takes a little while for plants to die and they can always somehow recover.
Our plant is also involved in a food chain. In this case our plant is a trophic level 1 being a producer for bugs and other small animals.
I think that secondary succession is occurring in the garden because there was soil in the boxes before we planted the saplings.
