…to find out what life forms exist on Moonboom Island and study the biotic and abiotic factors was achieved. The abiotic factors affect the biotic factors. Such things as the cloud cover and recent rainfall may have impacted the organisms' presence. The distinct characteristics of each organism justified that all of the species we found were very suited to their habitat. Each organism and their unique environment contributed to very interesting study of Moonboom Island.
