The phrase "abiotic environment" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to ecology, biology, or environmental science to refer to the non-living components of an ecosystem.
Example: "The abiotic environment includes factors such as temperature, water, and soil composition that influence the living organisms in an ecosystem."
Alternatives: "non-living environment" or "physical environment".
However, sponges may also seed the abiotic environment with their prokaryote symbionts.
Data of all three taxons as well as numerous parameters of the abiotic environment were ascertained.
An ecosystem represents the integration of the biotic community and the abiotic environment.
Biodegraded samples displayed grooves or cracks arranged in parallel, whereas samples exposed to an abiotic environment showed no surface changes.
In the abiotic environment only a slight molecular weight decrease was seen and the polydispersity started decreasing towards 2.0.
Matthews, S. A. et al. High-resolution characterization of the abiotic environment and disturbance regimes on the Great Barrier Reef, 1985–2017.
He is particularly interested in plant interactions with the abiotic environment — water, temperature, nutrients, and light — and how plants respond when these factors impose stress.
This course focuses on the physiological ecology of plants and their interaction with the biotic and abiotic environment, understood through the lens of first principles.
Investigations often focus on the role of the abiotic environment on disease development and management including the application of new weather forecasting and information management techniques.
This indicates different degradation mechanisms, i.e. preferred degradation near the chain ends in the biotic environment and a random hydrolysis of the ester bonds in the abiotic environment.
Given the harsh abiotic environment in alpine habitats, we expect that warmer temperatures will reduce constraints on allocation to sexual reproduction, in which case we expect longer reproductive phases and activity periods.
