The abiotic environment has strong influences on the growth, survival, behavior, and ecology of aquatic organisms. Biotic interactions and species life histories interact with abiotic factors to structure the food web. One measure of food-web structure is food-chain length. Several hypotheses predict a linear relationship between one environmental variable (e.g., disturbance or ecosystem size) ...

Fungi are common in aquatic and terrestrial environments, absorb the nutrients they need, and occur as either free-living or in symbiotic forms. In terrestrial environments, fungi are of fundamental importance as decomposers, plant pathogens, symbionts, and in biogeochemical cycles. In soils, fungi can comprise the largest pool of biomass. To date, there are an estimated 1.5 million species of ...
