Environmental factors refer to all the external conditions and influences that affect an organism or a system. These can include physical aspects such as temperature, humidity, wind, sunlight, precipitation, soil type, water availability, and altitude; biological factors such as competition for resources, predation, and disease; and human-induced factors such as pollution, deforestation, climate change, and urbanization. Environmental factors can have a significant impact on the growth, survival, behavior, and reproduction of living organisms, including plants, animals, and humans. Understanding these factors is crucial for effective conservation efforts, sustainable development, and overall ecosystem health.
