How to understand the irreplaceable and compensation function of ecological factors

1) Various factors in the environment have different influences on living things, but they all have their own importance, especially as the dominant factor. If lacking, it will affect the normal growth and development of organisms, even diseases and disabilities. Therefore, ecological factors are irreplaceable in general, but can be compensated locally.

2) In the process of comprehensive action of multiple ecological factors under certain conditions, because one factor is insufficient in quantity, other ecological factors can make up for it, and similar ecological effects can be obtained.

3) However, the compensation of ecological factors can only be partially compensated within a certain range, and one factor cannot replace another, and the compensation between factors does not always exist.
