Question

What is an example of competition of biotic factors in the Temperate Deciduous Forest?

Answer 1

In a temperate deciduous forest, an example of competition between biotic factors is: bears and coyotes competing for prey.

Explanation:

Biotic factors refer to living parts of an ecosystem, so in this example, bears and coyotes are both living things that can inhabit temperate forests. Competition refers to the two different species competing for the limited resource of food. Since both bears and coyotes consume meat in their diet, like the small mammals that also live in the forest, they are competing for food.
