Sentences with phrase «availability of nutrients such»

This is due in part to the fact that other conditions (e.g. availability of nutrients such as Nitrogen and Phosphorus) appear to quickly become limiting, even when carbon availability is removed as a constraint on plant growth when ambient CO2 concentrations are sufficiently increased.

Examining the effects of spaceflight on biofilm formation can provide new insights into how different factors, such as gravity, fluid dynamics and nutrient availability affect biofilm formation on Earth.

And, unfortunately, the microbes» speed is limited not by the availability of oil — or even its droplet size, which is why chemical dispersants have been used to break up the oil into microbe - friendly globules — but by the availability of various nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus that wash into the ocean via rivers carrying sediments from the continents.

To help improve crop breeding strategies and overcome challenges such as making plants more tolerant of marginal lands, and stresses such as drought and low nutrient availability, researchers are focusing on understanding and promoting beneficial plant - microbe relationships.

These fluxes could have a large influence in coastal environments, especially in areas with low availability of nutrients and in semiarid regions, such as the Mediterranean Sea,» explains Valentí Rodellas, UAB researcher who led the study as part of his PhD thesis.

To coordinate their size and growth with current environmental conditions, cells rely on the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) pathway, which senses cellular stresses, growth factors, and the availability of nutrients, such as amino acids and glucose.

Bottom - up processes are generally driven by the abiotic conditions required for primary producers to grow, such as availability of light and nutrients, and the subsequent transfer of energy to consumers at higher trophic levels.

We recently reported on a possible negative carbon feedback of forest soils in higher latitudes: when such soils warm, nutrient availability may increase, as would (therefore) biomass production and CO2 uptake.

However, there are numerous other phenomena that we need a synthesized information on, such as extent of hypoxia, nutrients availability, eutrophication and pollution, organic carbon dynamics, and more.

However, current understanding suggests that, unless substantial ocean circulation changes occur, plankton growth remains roughly unchanged because it is limited mostly by environmental factors, such as nutrients and light, and not by the availability of inorganic carbon it does not contribute significantly to the ocean uptake of anthropogenic CO2.

The magnitude of this sink, however, also depends critically on other factors, such as water and nutrient availability.
