Our environment, the place where we human beings, as well as many creatures, live, is actually made up of or influenced by various factors. These factors have made the earth a home for all of us. This ecosystem is maintained and balanced by the two main factors. i.e. abiotic factor an...
One caveat aboutabiotic factors:they have to come from something that isn’t alive. For example, organic waste products aren’t alive, but they come from something that is alive, so they count asbiotic factors,notabiotic. What are real-life examples ofabiotic factor?
An abiotic factor is a non-living component in the environment. This can be either a chemical or physical presence. Abiotic factors fall into three basic categories: climatic, edaphic and social. Climatic factors include humidity, sunlight and factors involving the climate. Edaphic refers to soil ...
A still body of water will inevitably be disturbed by various factors, which will affect the distribution of organisms in the water. Wind is considered to be the prime factor responsible for disturbing water, though changes in temperature can create convection currents where temperature is evened ou...
example, heat from the equator moved to higher latitudes by ocean currents results in milder climates for the affected areas. Differences in rainfall mean the difference between desert and forest biomes. Clouds can even be the controlling factor in some ecosystems, such as the cloud forests of ...
Abiotic stress is a nonliving factor that has an antagonist effect on living organisms in a precise atmosphere. Non-living factor such as salinity, extreme temperature, drought, cold, alkalinity, mineral deficiency or excess, anoxia, herbicide paraquat, plant pathogen and UV-B, cause poor growth ...
Thus, if the predicted scaling factor between AGS and temperature or depth is universal, we expect that (1) horizontal transects at a given depth spanning a wide range of temperatures should have the same scaling relationship with AGS in the tropic ocean and that (2) perennially cold polar ...
Given this wealth of parameters associated to elevation, it is unsurprising that this factor exerts a strong influence on the turnover of all four target taxa in our study area, which results in the significant explanatory value of elevation in explaining and underpinning inter-taxon congruencies...
Soil pH was a key driver of community composition across microbial kingdoms, in line with previous studies which established pH as an important edaphic factor influencing microbial communities along both latitudinal and elevational gradients66,67,68,69. Soil Ca, which plays key functions for microbes...
For example, agricultural crops are a dominant biotic factor across continents that are facilitated by human engineering and the redistribution of ecological resources and energy, which can have profound impacts on plant and animal populations across broad extents; agriculture can increase populations for...
