1) Some abiotic factors that our plants depend on for survival are sunlight, soil, and water. They are all something that plants need to grow, as they cannot survive without them. The sunlight gives plants nutrients and ability to grow. The water also affects how much the plants grow because it enters a plant's stem and travels up to the leaves, where photosynthesis takes place.
2) Predators and prey are pretty much a huge basis of animals and plants in any ecosystem. So, naturally, the plants that we're growing are going to have competition.Plants are competing for sunlight, rewards of nutrients, and territory as means for survival. The competition is the other plants. They are all seeking the same things and will try to get it.
3) There are different types of winner and losers, everywhere. Even in ecosystems. So, there are definitely winners and losers among our plants. Basically, the winners are the survivors, or at least, the ones that grow well and are healthy. The losers are the plants that die, or just don't grow at all. Maybe the factors don't work well with the specific type of seed. Sometimes, the determination of winners versus losers is hard to tell. It all depends on who and how you view growth amongst the plants.
4) Predation is one of them. There are predators that can eliminate some of the plant's population. Or there are disasters or any type of extreme factor. The predation can affect all the different types of plants. If it were a small organism, for example a bunny, that feeds on plants, then it might only go after one specific plant and not the other. Therefore leaving some plants, and sadly, destroying others.
5) The way the plant grows over time. Or it could be the way all the plants grow together and develop throughout their time living in the garden. The way we are growing our plants, it would be more like primary succession because our ecosystem did not develop off of a natural disaster such as a fire.
