Geographic imprint and ecological functions of the abiotic component of periphytic biofilms [PDF]
iMeta, 2022 We revealed abiotic components (extracellular polymeric substances, EPSs) in the periphytic biofilms. Further, the effect of the microbial community on the EPS, and the geodistribution patterns and ecological functions of the EPS were studied.

Relative importance of biotic and abiotic soil components to plant growth and insect herbivore population dynamics. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Plants are affected by several aspects of the soil, which have the potential to exert cascading effects on the performance of herbivorous insects. The effects of biotic and abiotic soil characteristics have however mostly been investigated in isolation ...

Abscisic Acid-Induced Stomatal Closure: An Important Component of Plant Defense Against Abiotic and Biotic Stress [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Abscisic acid (ABA) is a stress hormone that accumulates under different abiotic and biotic stresses. A typical effect of ABA on leaves is to reduce transpirational water loss by closing stomata and parallelly defend against microbes by restricting their

Drought and heat stress mediated activation of lipid signaling in plants: a critical review
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Lipids are a principal component of plasma membrane, acting as a protective barrier between the cell and its surroundings. Abiotic stresses such as drought and temperature induce various lipid-dependent signaling responses, and the membrane lipids ...

Identifying ecosystem key factors to support sustainable water management [PDF]
, 2020 There is a growing consensus that sustainable development requires a behavioral change, forced by firm decision-making. However, existing decision-supporting tools are unlikely to provide relevant information, hampered by the complexity of combined socio-

Factors shaping community assemblages and species co-occurrence of different trophic levels [PDF]
, 2017 Species assemblages are the results of various processes, including dispersion and habitat filtering. Disentangling the effects of these different processes is challenging for statistical analysis, especially when biotic interactions should be considered.
