The text discusses the concepts of biotic and abiotic resistance in plants, with biotic resistance referring to the ability of native communities to resist invasive species, and abiotic resistance referring to the negative impact of non-living factors on living organisms in a specific environment. It also mentions the various biotic and abiotic factors affecting plants and how plants respond to biotic and abiotic stress.
