Although biotic processes were mainly responsible for N retention, about 4 11% of N applied to flooded soils was weakly fixed within the interlayer of clay minerals, primarily associated with microaggregates.
Soil structure and interactions between biotic and abiotic processes are increasingly recognized as important for explaining the large uncertainties in the outputs of macroscopic SOM decomposition models.
Physiochemical properties of the chemicals and degradation half-lives (bulk parameters combining biotic and abiotic processes) were obtained from EPISuite and are listed in SI Section 1.3.
Ecosystem processes are the large scale organization of the biotic and abiotic interactions of the natural world [14], [16].
In the GO class 'biological processes', subcategories of 'response to abiotic or biotic stimulus' and 'developmental processes' were enriched in T. parvula, whereas genes in the subcategory 'signal transduction' were underrepresented (Fig. 2c).
Understanding biotic influences on soil processes is a major research frontier made challenging by organismal diversity, variation in distribution, and variety of interactions.
The overlap of response of GST genes to various stimuli, including hormone, abiotic stress (including arsenate stress) and biotic stress, and developmental processes was analyzed.
Assessing how abiotic and biotic environmental factors influence demographic processes is necessary to understand and predict population dynamics, as well as species distributions and abundances.
Demethylation appears to be influenced by both abiotic (photochemical) and biotic processes, but less is known about these factors.
