mosquitoes drifting on the water.
Main Abiotic Factors
The Everglades is normally warm
year round. Even when it is dry it still
rains a little. Some of the abiotic
factors are temperature and water
level. The water level effects this
ecosystem because the fish wont be
able to swim and animals wont be
able to bathe. We need the water level
in the Everglades to get bigger.
