| 3 Types of Spatial Orientation | Uniform Distribution: Regular spread of the same species
Clumped Distribution: Very common
Random Distribution: Uncommon |
| Temporal variation over a day | Nocturnal/Diurnal [Night/Day]
Intertidal Zones experience temporal changes in a day |
| Temporal variation over a year | Migratory seasons, change of abiotic factors, seasonal plants, hibernation |
| Abiotic factors | Non-Living conditions - change over space and time
[Temperature, rainfall, soil type pH, availability of sunlight could change vertically or throughout a year] |
| Limiting factors / Tolerance levels | Abiotic or biotic factors which limit the population growth of species
[Abiotic: available nutrients, food, temp, shelter, pH]
[Biotic: Predators, availability of mates, disease] |
