Explain the topographic factors in the ecosystem

  

Answers


Francis
- Topography encompasses numerous abiotic factors, although these are often interlinked in a complex manner with other environmental components.
- The main topographic factor is relief, which induces vertical temperature changes and related climatic adjustments such as humidity variations (decrease of 0.6°C for every 100m altitudinal rise)
- Geomorphology: the influence of topography on ecosystem characteristics is often manifested through its interaction with other components of the physical environment.
- Relief affects temperature through altitudinal Zonation, position on the slope and aspect.
