Abiotic factors differ between aquatic and terrestrial environments. In aquatic environments, oxygen dissolves in water and temperature changes are small. Light availability decreases rapidly with depth. Water provides more support than air through buoyancy. Water is more viscous than air, providing resistance for aquatic organisms. In terrestrial environments, oxygen is abundant, large temperature variations can occur, light is highly available, water is not freely available, and air offers little support and resistance for movement. The distribution and abundance of a species is determined by abiotic factors like temperature, light availability, water availability, and viscosity in each environment.
