This is equally true in the #biotic environment (the “#biosphere”), consisting of microorganisms, plants, animals, and the human body; in #abiotic (lifeless) environments, such as the #geosphere, the #lithosphere, the #hydrosphere, and the #atmosphere; and in the entire #ecosphere, comprising ecosystems composed of biotic and abiotic elements in complex interrelationships. Such ecosystems, large and small, for all their components, also interact in intricate mutual relationships.

#ecology

It's fair to assume that both #biotic and abiotic factors drive #species #diversification, but demonstrating their synergistic effects in a single framework is challenging and rarely studied...until now!

When can feedbacks between organisms and their #environment underpin coexistence? And how do #communityDynamics differ when #environmentalVariation is generated by #biotic feedbacks versus #abiotic drivers? We develop simple #theoreticalModels to explore these questions and more.

There are five so-called "#garbage #patches" in the earth's oceans – areas where #currents concentrate surface and near-surface #trash (particularly #plastics).

Obligate #neustonic #organisms#animals and #plants that must live at or very near the ocean surface – also concentrate in those locations.

So what does that mean for the #ecology of this unique #biotic #community?

See Chong et al (2023) if you would like to know more.

High concentrations of floating neustonic life in the plastic-rich North Pacific Garbage Patch

Floating life (neuston) is a core component of the ocean surface food web, but the Sargasso Sea in the North Atlantic is the only known region of high neustonic abundance. This study reveals high densities of floating life in the plastic-rich Great Pacific Garbage Patch, suggesting that this area could be an important marine habitat.
