It's a Darwinian battleground, rife with silent violence as plants compete for space, light, moisture, nutriment.
The weed is an effective competitor for light, moisture, and nutrients and is thus able to substantially reduce crop yields.
Many involved the root, or radicle, of young plants, which the Darwins demonstrated could sense light, moisture, gravity, pressure, and several other environmental qualities, and then determine the optimal trajectory for the root's growth.
Exposed to the destructive agencies of light, moisture, fire, general wear and tear, and changes in fashion, paintings on walls have little chance of surviving for more than a few hundred years.
Soil fertility is the quality of a soil that enables it to provide compounds in adequate amounts and proper balance to promote growth of plants when other factors (such as light, moisture, temperature, and soil structure) are favourable.
But growers say it is achieved by precisely controlling the environmental factors to which the tree and the truffle are exposed, including, among others, temperature, light, moisture, nutrients and soil aeration.
Moreover, PSCs are sensitive to high temperatures, UV-light, moisture and oxygen: factors that are hindering their commercialization.
Tracking noises, lights, moisture, toxins.
Bonnefoy et al. (2003) have conducted a pan-European survey of several key indoor dwelling characteristics that affect human health: thermal comfort, lighting, moisture, mold, and noise (Table 1).
The light and moisture levels were optimal.
It degrades in the presence of light or moisture.
