Abiotic factors such as light, temperature, flow, and dissolved nutrients are important for determine the composition of plant and animal communities including estuaries, coral reefs, and kelp Forests.

Biomes are large-scale environments that are distinguished by characteristic temperature ranges and amounts of precipitation. These two variables affect the types of vegetation and animal life that can exist in those areas.

The trees of the temperate forests leaf out and shade much of the ground; however, this biome is more open than tropical wet forests because trees in the temperate forests do not grow as tall as the trees in tropical wet forests.
