Pride Lands Biotic Factors

Organism, populations and communities are always responding to the abiotic, and biotic factors in their communities, and it also occurs in the Pride Lands. Abiotic factors are the nonliving things in an ecosystem, and biotic factors are the living things in an ecosystem. There are many examples in the Pride Lands that organisms, populations and communities respond to these factors like when Mufasa dies, and when Scar takes over the Pride Lands.
When Mufasa dies, the Pride Lands community changes drastically. The community changes when Mufasa dies because it becomes more of a drought in the Pride Lands, and because of this, many of the organisms move, and most of the vegetation dies. The drought is an abiotic factor, and it causes many of

the organisms previously living in the Pride Lands to relocate because there is no drinking water. As a result of a drought, many populations move and because of that, the lions and the hyenas have more competition because there is a scarce supply of food, and this is a biotic factor. Another result of the drought that the community responds to is that the vegetation dies, and there is not as much trees, plants or flowers growing in the Pride Lands. This example from the movie is not similar to a real life example because when the leader of a pack dies, the community does not all of a sudden die, and a drought happens. When a pack leader dies, a new leader is king, and this does not cause the vegetation to die off, but it may cause the surrounding populations to decrease if the pack is drastically hunting. The community in the Pride Lands responds to Mufasa death by migrating, and the vegetation to die.
