Sentence examples for mineralization processes and from inspiring English sources

Protozoan grazing on rhizobacteria stimulates microbial mineralization processes and thereby indirectly nutrient cycling.

Bacterivores, such as protozoans, contribute significantly to mineralization processes and key ecosystem functions in soil.

This study aims at establishing groundwater residence times, identifying mineralization processes and determining groundwater origins within a carbonate coastal aquifer with thick unsaturated zone and lying on a granitic depression.

More specifically, hydrochemical composition and ionic ratios were used to identify the origin of groundwater mineralization processes and saltwater intrusion in coastal areas (Bear et al. 1999; Djabri et al. 2008; Reddy et al. 2010; Agoubi et al. 2012).
