Read Chapter 4 in the Acquaah textbook.

The reading provides an overview of the conditions that plants require in order to grow normally, and the factors that can inhibit growth.   Biotic factors include plants and animals that can favor or interfere with normal growth.  The abiotic factors include aboveground conditions, such as climate and weather, water and light; and belowground environment, notably soils and the organisms which inhabit them.
