Garden Heroes #4

On abiotic factor that affects my plant is the sun. The plant needs sunlight to survive, but too much sun and heat can dry it out. That's why a plant alto needs rainfall, another abiotic factor. The brasssica oleracea plant needs to be kept well-watered. Without enough rainfall, it will dry out. Temperature is another important abiotic factor. My plant can be grown in the spring and in the fall, when temperatures can be unpredictable and it can get cold. The dead hay is another abiotic factor that helps keep the ground cool and improves the soil.

The biotic factors that afffect my plant are the decomposers in the ground like mushrooms, bacteria and worms. These help make good soil. Birds and insects contribute to the plant's success. They might eat the plant and cause it to deteriorate.

My plant is in competition with the sunflower right behind it. Both are fighting over who gets more water and nutrients from the soil. Also, the plant is trying to survive insects that are using it for food.
The losers and winners in a garden are determined by the amount of water and sunlight and soil nutrients that are absorbed by the plant roots. The winner gets more of the good stuff, and the loser gets less.

My plant interacts with bees and butterflies and other insects that carry pollen to the garden. There is some evidence of secondary succession in the garden. We know that the garden has been cleared of its previous plants. There are some seeds from previous plants.
