A decrease in salmon population due to an increase in river temperature indicates:
**an abiotic factor affecting a biotic factor.**
This is because the river temperature is an abiotic factor (non-living) that can impact the living organisms in the ecosystem (in this case, the salmon population). Higher temperatures can affect salmon spawning, growth, and survival rates.
**an abiotic factor affecting a biotic factor.**
This is because the river temperature is an abiotic factor (non-living) that can impact the living organisms in the ecosystem (in this case, the salmon population). Higher temperatures can affect salmon spawning, growth, and survival rates.
