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 ...

THE DOSE-EFFECT OF OIL POLLUTION OF SOILS ON THE BIOTIC COMPONENT OF ECOSYSTEMS
RUDN Journal of Ecology and Life Safety, 2017 The degree of influence on the biotic component of ecosystems depends on the level of oil contamination present in the soil. To determine the dose-effect, the reaction of living objects of different levels of organization with the use of methods of ...

Soil health and sustainability: managing the biotic component of soil quality
Applied Soil Ecology, 2000 Soil health is the capacity of soil to function as a vital living system, within ecosystem and land-use boundaries, to sustain plant and animal productivity, maintain or enhance water and air quality, and promote plant and animal health. Anthropogenic reductions in soil health, and of individual components of soil quality, are a pressing ecological ...

A review on heavy metal accumulation and toxicity in biotic and abiotic components
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021 Abstract Pollutants in the environment remains to be a global issue and among the greatest challenges confronting mankind. Among the various kinds of pollutants, heavy metals have drawn a lot of attention owing to their toxicity. Heavy metals are recognized to be naturally existing, however they are introduced in considerable quantities ...

, 2015 The hard, complex reef structure created by the eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, provides refuge and habitat that protects many organisms, allowing them to settle, survive, and spawn. In addition, oysters create copious amounts of biodeposits, which potentially serve as a basal nutrient resource for the reef ecosystem.
