The phrase "a set of biotic" is not complete and may not convey a clear meaning in written English without additional context.
You can use it when referring to a collection or group of living organisms or factors in an ecological context, but it typically needs to be followed by a noun to clarify what is being described.
Example: "In the study of ecosystems, a set of biotic components, such as plants and animals, plays a crucial role in maintaining balance."
Alternatives: "a group of living organisms" or "a collection of biotic factors".
High rates of anthropogenic translocation of species around the world [11] [13] provide an ideal opportunity to test this hypothesis; if a large brain helps to deal with novel challenges, then larger brains should be particularly useful for organisms that are suddenly confronted with a novel set of biotic and abiotic challenges as a result of translocation [3], [10], [14], [15].
Landscape units are areas with a specific set of biotic and abiotic characteristics that can be classified, mapped and described.
Each environmental setting for ecological engineering design will have a unique history and set of biotic and abiotic interactions.
Definitions of the niche date back to 1917, but G. Evelyn Hutchinson made conceptual advances in 1957 by introducing a widely adopted definition: "the set of biotic and abiotic conditions in which a species is able to persist and maintain stable population sizes".
A species' niche is the multidimensional set of biotic and abiotic conditions in which it is able to persist and maintain stable population sizes.
A main finding of this study is that, although the landscape scale beta diversity patterns of the three microbial domains investigated are all related to plant community composition, they result from different set of biotic and abiotic factors (Fig. 4).
Soberón and Peterson [4] offered a heuristic framework for understanding distributions of species: species occur in areas that (1) are within the set of abiotic conditions that are appropriate to maintain populations, (2) present the appropriate set of biotic conditions, and (3) are within the species' dispersal and colonization reach over relevant time periods.
To probe function of SlCNGC15 in disease resistance, the silenced tomato plants were inoculated with a set of different types of pathogens as biotic stresses.
A set of 28 candidate genes related to biotic and abiotic stresses were studied in 19 sunflower inbred lines.
