Overburden (the dumping of mine tailings and other reject materials) from the Warukin geological formation is one of the potential acid-forming (PAF) of 33.17%. Mining can cause overburden to be exposed and affect biotic and abiotic conditions. The study

Contributions of biotic and abiotic factors to soil aggregation under different thinning intensities
Soil aggregation is a hierarchical and complex process mediated by both abiotic and biotic factors, and is crucial for preventing erosion.This study aimed to providing new insights into the role of biotic and abiotic factors on soil aggregation amid ...

Factors shaping community assemblages and species co-occurrence of different trophic levels [PDF]
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.

Focusing on the role of abiotic and biotic drivers on cross-taxon congruence
Diversity patterns can show congruence across taxonomic groups. Consistent diversity patterns allow the identification of indicator surrogates potentially representative of unobserved taxa or the broader biodiversity patterns.

Urbanization, environmental stabilization and temporal persistence of bird species: A view from Latin America [PDF]
Background. A scarcely studied consequence of urbanization is the effect of temporal stabilization of the environment on bird communities. This alteration is thought to dampen environmental variations between day and night, seasons and years, promoting a

ASSESSING THE RELATIVE INFLUENCES OF ABIOTIC AND BIOTIC FACTORS ON A SPECIES’ DISTRIBUTION USING PSEUDO-ABSENCE AND FUNCTIONAL TRAIT DATA: A CASE STUDY WITH THE AMERICAN EEL (Anguilla rostrata) [PDF]
Species’ distributions are influenced by abiotic and biotic factors but direct comparison of their relative importance is difficult, particularly when working with complex, multi-species datasets. Here, we present a flexible method to compare abiotic and
