Biotic & Abiotic Factors of a Freshwater Biome
BIOTIC: animals, plants, algae, etc. (living organisms)
ABIOTIC: climate, temperature, wind, speed of water flow, rocks, water, sunlight, etc. (nonliving organisms)

Symbiotic Relationships
1.) One case is oysters clinging to the tree roots in the freshwater biome, this provides the oysters with a niche so that they can reproduce and continue to prospure. Yet, the oysters are doing no damage to the trees making this is the symbiotic relationship of commensalism, since both are not positively or negatively affected.
2.) The second case is among algae and fungi, also known as producers and decomposers. Between the algae and fungi they work together to form communities called lichens. Since both of these organisms in this symbiotic relationship will be effected positively this is known as mutualism.
