Sentence examples for biotic state from inspiring English sources

We integrate abiotic and biotic state variables, processes and complex interactions in a spatially explicit way into the INGRID modelling shell.

On the other hand, if this phenomenon is to some extent caused by an increased availability of nutrients in dynamic dune soils, plants should perform better on dynamic than on stabilised dune soils, irrespective of their biotic state.

The observation that differences were independent of the biotic state of the soil, provides indirect proof that they must have been due to differences in one or more abiotic properties of the soils from the three regions.

Analysis of the annotated genes showed significant increases in the expression levels of genes involved in signaling, biotic stress (redox state, secondary metabolism, PR genes) and hormonal interaction, especially for SA treatment.

We propose ways to integrate these distinctive impacts into general mechanistic representations that link ecosystem processes with changes in biotic and abiotic states (changes in structure, composition, amount, process rates, etc).

Six regions were defined for each biotic group for the State of New South Wales.

Ecosystem engineers are defined as: "organisms that directly or indirectly modulate the availability of resources to other species, by causing physical state changes in biotic or abiotic materials.

Ecosystem engineers are species that control the availability of resources for other species by causing physical state changes in biotic or abiotic materials [5].

Such a role would indicate that black bears are in fact 'ecosystem engineers' that directly or indirectly modulate the availability of resources to other species by causing physical state changes in biotic and abiotic materials [ 9].

Much like biological evolutionary processes in general, the transitions between abiotic and biotic systems or stable and metastable states (i.e., states either sensitive to perturbation or that change very slowly) could be smooth and/or discontinuous.

They stated that particularly biotic interactions might explain the negative consequences of NP on ecosystem processes such as carbon dioxide emission, nitrogen or phosphorous fluxes [215] that could not be detected from short-term, single species tests [214].
