How does climate affect and determine the characteristics of an ecosystem?
By determining what can exist in a particular place.
In essence, temperature, water form and availability, and photosynthesis are all influenced by the quantity and intensity of incident sunlight (which determines climate). These factors are the foundation of all living forms and their abundance in an ecosystem.

Climate significantly influences the characteristics of an ecosystem by affecting factors such as temperature, precipitation, humidity, and sunlight availability. These climatic elements determine the types of plants and animals that can thrive in an area, as well as the overall biodiversity, productivity, and stability of the ecosystem. For example, tropical rainforests typically have high biodiversity due to consistently warm temperatures and abundant rainfall, while deserts have low biodiversity due to extreme temperatures and limited water availability. Climate also influences ecosystem processes such as nutrient cycling, energy flow, and ecological interactions, ultimately shaping the structure and function of ecosystems.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
