Question
interpret the diagram above.
there would be the choose your answer trout at 18°.
if an area was logged, and the stream temperatures rose to 22°, you would see a choose your answer in trout numbers.
the temperature of the stream is choose your answer factor.
competition with other trout is choose your answer factor.
biotic and abiotic factors work choose your answer to make organisms successful in an ecosystem.
First Sub - Question (Trout at 18°C)
Assuming the diagram (likely a temperature - number of trout graph) shows that at 18°C, the number of trout is relatively high (maybe peak or a high value). So the answer would be a high number (e.g., "maximum" or a description of a high count, but since we need to infer, likely "maximum" or similar. But without the diagram, we assume typical ecological temperature - population relationships where 18°C is a favorable temp for trout, so number is high.
Logging can cause habitat destruction, and a temperature rise to 22°C (if above the optimal for trout) would stress them. So trout numbers would decrease (due to both habitat loss and temperature stress).
Temperature is a non - living (abiotic) component of the environment. Abiotic factors are non - biological, like temperature, water, light. So stream temperature is an abiotic factor.
