Organisms exhibit adaptations which enable them to survive and reproduce in their particular environment. The differences in specific environments affect the type of adaptations required by organisms in those environments. The physical conditions influence the habitat of organisms. Each abiotic factor may be well-suited to the organism, or present it with problems to be overcome. Adaptations allow the organism to exploit the resources of the habitat.

Abiotic factors include: light intensity and availability; temperature variations; availability of water among others. Table 1.1 shows the differences in abiotic factors in Open Sclerophyll Forest and Rainforests.

Hypothesis: The differences in adaptations shown between organisms in a closed rainforest community and an open sclerophyll forest community are dependent on varying abiotic factors
