The proximate causes of biodiversity loss are relatively well understood, with habitat destruction, climate change, biotic homogenization, resource extraction, and pollution the major factors [6], [7].
As is the case with abiotic material, not only the used extraction of biotic material is considered but also all organic material that is taken from nature (including biotic material taken from agricultural systems).
In contrast, biotic mechanisms have been proposed for rusticle formation and cation adsorption, eg biological extraction and bioaccumulation.
However, whether this reflects changes in the relative extraction efficiencies or changes in the actual chemical composition, such as from susceptibility to biotic chemical reactions, like enzymic modification, or abiotic ones like oxidation and photodegradation, is unknown.
In addition, biotic samples are complex matrices that contain large amounts of possible interfering compounds that necessitate the use of extensive extraction and clean-up procedures to obtain extracts amenable to analysis.
All further additional biotic flows, mainly crops, were added to the specific processes and to the LCIA scheme, taking into consideration the unused extraction factors according to [34], the moisture content of the plant at harvest, and, if necessary, the allocation factor and yields for side products.
All animals are infected with biotic agents.
What is "biomass extraction"?
