Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Climatic factors such as temperature, rainfall, and humidity have a significant influence on the distribution and abundance of biota at various scales, from local to global. Edaphic, soil, and topographic factors are also important but may have a more localized impact. Air pollution can be a significant problem in urban areas but is not a universal constraint on biota.
