Sentence examples for biotic activity from inspiring English sources

While climatic variables are often considered most important for chemical weathering, our results indicate that soil thickness and biotic activity are equally important.

These results fit within existing theory and experimental evidence that soil microorganisms both adapt to their climate regime, and are directly, through biotic activity, and indirectly, via community structure or function, affected by climate.

Though the increase in soil moisture in seeps could potentially increase biotic activity, we hypothesize that the osmotic stress resulting from a rise in soil salt concentration at the surface driven by evaporation would cause a decrease in biological activity.

All water samples were filtered through acid-washed Supor 0.2 µm filters into 20 mL certified EPA vials with teflon lids, treated with 5 µL of 25% phosphoric acid per mL of sample and refrigerated within three hours of their collection to avoid any DOC-altering biotic activity.

Odum (1968) described the export of nutrients and organic detritus from salt marshes to coastal areas for supporting biotic activities as "outwelling" (Figure 7).

Besides, low penetrations of solar radiation and relevant biotic activities in dry paddy soils might also result in low air Hg concentrations in soil pool which in turn result in minimal diffusions of Hg to the atmosphere.

These compounds are released from plant organs above or below the ground some of which induced by various biotic activities [8].

Sloughing and breakage resulting from biotic and abiotic activity over the course of decomposition should be considered in SDT biomass/C estimates to accurately account for biomass and C in forests.

With regard to upregulation following over-expression of the shorter variant 3, "response to biotic stimulus", "chemokine activity" and "extracellular region" gave P-values of 8.44E-12, 2.93E-7 and 7.4E-14 7.4E-14 Process, forcthen and ComProcessontological levels respectively.

MYB proteins represent important plant TFs and are found to be involved in various developmental and physiological processes including transcriptional activation, kinase activity, protein binding and transcription repressor activation under abiotic and biotic stresses (Dubos et al. 2010).

The role of mitochondrial Whirlies could also be highlighted when a particular stress is applied to the plant akin to the transcriptional activator role of StWhy1 which correlates to the induction of its ssDNA-binding activity following biotic stresses.
