Biotic and abiotic
This is the scenic Duck River flowing into Old Stone Fort in Tennessee. The fort is actually a 2,000-year-old Native American ceremonial ground. Here, you can see fine examples of both biotic and abiotic factors, as well the temperate deciduous forest biome. Although the water of the river is abiotic, it "contains and constrains life," and is home to over 50 species of freshwater mussels and 151 species of fish, which makes it one of the most biologically diverse rivers in North America. The bridge in the background is abiotic as well, but it is also useful for aquatic life found in the river. It provides cover and structure for fish, and is an excellent place for algae to grow, which is a food source for aquatic life. On occasion, you'll also see some ducks, although I couldn't locate one today.
