Biology

Abiotic variables found in terrestrial ecosystems can include things like rain, wind, temperature, altitude, soil, pollution, nutrients, pH, types of soil, and sunlight. The boundaries of an individual abiotic factor can be just as unclear as the boundaries of an ecosystem.These are often referred to as abiotic factors. Abiotic factors are non-living elements found within an ecosystem. There are six abiotic factors that affect plant growth: air, water, space, temperature, light and soil (nutrients).The two most important abiotic factors affecting plant primary productivity in an ecosystem are temperature and moisture.


LEARNING OBJECTIVE[ edit ]

Identify the abiotic factors that affect plant growth

KEY POINTS[ edit ]

Primary production, on which almost all of life on earth is dependent, occurs through either photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.
Annual biomass production, used to estimate net primary productivity by plants in an area, is directly influenced by an environment's abiotic factors, which include temperature and moisture.
Warm and wet climates have the greatest amount of plant biomass because they offer conditions in which photosynthesis, plant growth, and the resulting net primary productivity are highest.
TERMS[ edit ]

biomass
the total mass of all living things within a specific area, habitat, etc.

eco-region
a region, smaller than an ecozone, that contains a distinct biodiversity of flora and fauna

chemosynthesis
the production of carbohydrates and other compounds using the oxidation of chemical nutrients as a source of energy rather than sunlight; it is limited to certain bacteria and fungi

How much magma is formed at a transform boundary<br> i need this asap
saul85 [17]

Answer:

magma doesnt form at transform boundaries, but it does form at divergent and convergent bounderies.

Explanation:

The divergent boundaries pull apart from each other creating a weak spot in the crust, allowing magma o come through and reach the surface. Some of the rock above the subducting plate melts and forms magma. Because the magma is less dense than the surrounding rock, it rises to the surface.

At convergent boundaries magma is formed where water from a subducting plate acts as a flux to lower the melting temperature of the adjacent mantle rock

i hope this helps a little bit (:
