abiotic component
abiotic factor

Energy, water, nitrogen and soil minerals are other essential abiotic components of an ecosystem.

An ecosystem consists of both the biotic and abiotic components of an environment.

In contrast, allogenic succession is driven by the abiotic components of the ecosystem.

These biotic and abiotic components are regarded as linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows.

Ecosystem ecology - studies the flows of energy and matter through the biotic and abiotic components of ecosystems.

In other words, the specific environmental conditions determine how any genotype of one species influences the fitness of another species (biotic and abiotic components).

An arborist's work may involve very large and complex trees, or ecological communities and their abiotic components in the context of the landscape ecosystem.

Ecosystem ecology is the integrated study of biotic and abiotic components of ecosystems and their interactions within an ecosystem framework.

Biotic components are contrasted to abiotic components, which are non-living components of an organism's environment, such as temperature, light, moisture, air currents, etc.

In ecology and biology, abiotic components (also called abiotic factors) are non-living chemical and physical factors in the environment, which affect ecosystems.

This classification table shows the parallel classification terms in similar spatial scales used in the study of the biotic and abiotic components of ecosystems and the Earth.

It has been long debated about how much of the weathering of the rock is due to biotic components and how much can be attributed to abiotic components.

Ecosystem - biological system consisting of all the living organisms or biotic components in a particular area and the nonliving or abiotic component with which the organisms interact, such as air, mineral soil, water and sunlight.

Logically, trees are an important component of forest research, but the wide variety of other life forms and abiotic components in most forests means that other elements, such as wildlife or soil nutrients, are often the focal point.

Just as ecosystems are defined by the interaction of biotic and abiotic components, ecotope classification should stratify landscapes based on a combination of both biotic and abiotic factors, including vegetation, soils, hydrology, and other factors.

On the other hand, typically microbial population biologists (unlike microbial ecologists) are less concerned with questions of the role of microorganisms in ecosystem ecology, which is the study of nutrient cycling and energy movement between biotic as well as abiotic components of ecosystems.

Through Parks Canada realizing the necessity of managing national parks by human hands to maintain biotic and abiotic components, Parks Canada placed an emphasis on ecological integrity within the National Parks that marked a shift from profit to preservation.

An abiotic factor caused by humans could be global warming.

An environmental gradient is a gradual change in abiotic factors through space (or time).

Eggs hatch in 11-27 days, depending on temperature and other abiotic factors.

Other causes of population cycles include cycling abiotic factors.

He based his classification scheme on two abiotic factors: precipitation and temperature.

Activity patterns appear to be influenced by both biotic and abiotic factors.

A further abiotic factor is moisture, which is important for respiration.

Competition is only one of many interacting biotic and abiotic factors that affect community structure.

Some of the abiotic factors also include latitude and longitude, soil, and climate.

Photobioreactos are the primary example of a closed system where abiotic factors can be controlled for.

There are certain abiotic factors that the spottail shiners must live in.

Therefore, successful restoration may be dependent on taking a number of both biotic and abiotic factors into account.

Any non-living chemical or physical factor in the environment is considered an abiotic factor.

The increase in clutch size as birds get further away from the equator could be caused by various biotic and abiotic factors.

Important Abiotic factors affecting population growth include:

Trees and vegetation also provide natural cover from abiotic factors and elements that these animals rely on for their protection.

Because fishes are highly mobile, they are able to deal with unsuitable abiotic factors in one zone by simply moving to another.

Nest location and architecture is strongly influenced by local topography and other abiotic factors.

As with most abiotic factors, light intensity (irradiance) can be both suboptimal and excessive.

Abiotic factors that affect the spotted gar by humans include destruction of habitat and increased sedimentation in the water.

In traditional agricultural systems, tilling disturbs the soil ecosystem, affecting biotic and abiotic factors.

Instead, they cited extrinsic, abiotic factors such as expansion as the driving factor on a large evolutionary scale.

Generally, reservoirs are abiotic factors whereas exchange pools are biotic factors.

Abiotic factors such as the timing of seasonal rains and winds can also play an important role in breeding onset and success.
