Influence of Industrial Atmospheric Pollution on Soil Biotic Component of Norway Spruce Stands
Zentralblatt fĂĽr Mikrobiologie, 1982Summary The present paper reports on the nine-year investigation concerning the influence of industrial emissions, high in the SO 2 content, on the soil biotic component in the Norway Spruce stands in five localities in Western Bohemia. Counts of the total aerobic and ammonifying bacteria were considerably reduced and counts of Thiobacilli and ...

Artificial night light alters ecosystem services provided by biotic components
Biologia Futura, 2021The global catastrophe of natural biodiversity and ecosystem services are expedited with the growing human population. Repercussions of artificial light at night ALAN are much wider, as it varies from unicellular to higher organism. Subsequently, hastened pollution and over exploitation of natural resources accelerate the expeditious transformation of ...

Components, processes and consequences of biotic homogenization: A review
Contemporary Problems of Ecology, 2014Among the major changes induced by human beings, biotic homogenization is gaining popularity at regional as well as global level. Biotic homogenization is a multifaceted process which results from species extinction, introduction and environmental modification often induced by human beings.

The chemical and functional characterization of soil N and its biotic components
Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2009Abstract The aim of this review is to describe and discuss the concepts that have been employed to interpret N mineralization–immobilization in soil, and how N turnover is related to the characteristics of organic N and the biota conducting the transformations.

Invasive species and biotic homogenization in temperate aquatic plant communities
, 2020AIM: Biotic homogenization (BH), a reduction in the distinctness of species composition between geographically separated ecological communities in a region, is an important but underappreciated potential consequence of biological invasions.

Plant-Microbiome Interaction and the Effects of Biotic and Abiotic Components in Agroecosystem [PDF]
A myriad of microorganisms colonizes the plant habitats and influences the flora and fauna along with the soil microenvironments. These microbes dwell in three major compartments such as spermosphere, rhizosphere, and phyllosphere. Plant rhizodeposits are the root exudates that determine the nature of root-colonizing microbes.

Spatial components of biotic diversity in landscapes of Georgia, USA
Landscape Ecology, 1991Traditional measures of species diversity and spatially-explicit measures of landscape diversity (derived from Romme 1982) are used to compare biotic diversity in six landscapes across Georgia, USA; two each from the Appalachian Highlands, Piedmont, and Coastal Plain.

Persistent Organic Pollutants in Biotic and Abiotic Components of Antarctic Pristine Environment
Earth Systems and Environment, 2018Over the past decades, research in Antarctica has built a new understanding of Antarctica, its past, present and future. Human activities and long-range pollutants are increasing on the Antarctic continent. Research on persistent organic pollutants (POPs) has been carried out internationally by several countries having their permanent research stations

The interactions of the physical and biotic components on a reclaimed coastal foredune
Journal of Arid Environments, 1990Foredunes are generally shore-parallel, convex, vegetated ridges separated by concave swales, formed by aeolian deposition within vegetation. Coastal foredunes consist of two or three distinct geomorpho-floristic zones. The floristic gradient resulting from a regression analysis was correlated with the amount and frequency of sand movement occurring on
