Assessing the impacts of land use on soil respiration (Rs) and its temperature sensitivity (Q10) is of vital significance for understanding regional carbon cycles. In this study, the regulation ofRsandQ10by soil biotic and abiotic factors under different land-use types, i.e., cropland, apple...
Frogs spend much of their life in a pond. A pond is an example of an aquatic habitat, specifically a freshwater habitat. Each habitat has its own set of environmental factors that make it different from other habitats. Some of these factors are moisture content, temperature, amount of ...
Differences in composition are then expected to be driven primarily by biotic factors. Using 142 shotgun metagenomes of single biofilm granules we found that, at the commonly used genus-level resolution, community replicates varied much more in their composition than would be expected from neutral ...
Biomes are characterized by their abiotic andbiotic components. The most important abiotic factors are thetemperatureandprecipitationof the biome. However, other factors such as soil type and amount of sunlight also play important roles. The location of the biome often determines these abiotic factors...
Ecosystems are a collection of all the living things, called biotic factors, and nonliving things, called abiotic factors in an area. Biotic factors can be divided into two groups, heterotrophs and autotrophs. Heterotrophs are organisms that must eat to get energy, such as animals, bacteria ...
is a gregarios species, which is changing the numbers and structure of the flocks according to the season. This depends on abiotic and biotic factors. The way of breeding the flocks (free or kept in breeding fences) could also affect them because of predators. The goal of this study was ...
Identify the two major abiotic factors that determine which type of terrestrial biome that will occur in a area. Discuss the general differences in climate associated with the tropical savanna and midlatitude grassland biomes. Describe the local biotic communities in Nigeria and five biomes of the wo...
Changes in these factors directly or indirectly affect the composition of the community and the availability of niches. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of the combined influence of biotic factors (stand factors and diversity) and abiotic factors (elevation and canopy openness) is essential for...
Define and give three examples of biomes. What are the major biomes? Describe the abiotic factors that classify them. What are four main types of land plants? Briefly describe the climatic conditions in Tundra and name a few animals found in this biome?
An abundance or scarcity of anybiotic factorsends a ripple effect through theecosystem, which is the entirety of the abiotic and biotic factors in a designated area. For example, an abundance of plants often leads to an increase in herbivore populations. In turn, predators that hunt the herbivo...
