Factors contributing to the balance of ecosystems include biotic and abiotic factors, such as species diversity, resource availability, and environmental conditions. Biotic factors involve interactions among organisms, such as predation, competition, and symbiosis, while abiotic factors encompass elements like climate, soil, and water quality. These factors influence population dynamics, community structure, and ecosystem functions, working together to maintain stability and resilience. Understanding these contributions is essential for effective ecosystem management and conservation.
