In addition, the hoseâs volume fluctuation decreases the hydraulic system reaction time and efficiency. By comparison, the expansion of metal tube is negligible, which makes it a preferred choice for applications requiring accurate positioning.
Aquatic Ecosystems. Most aquatic ecosystems are limited by salt concentration and the availability of sunlight, oxygen and nutrients. For example The Dead Sea is âdeadâ because the salinity is so high and nothing can grow in it.
Inorganic nutrients, soil structure, and aquatic oxygen availability are further abiotic factors that affect species distribution in an ecosystem. The same is true for terrestrial factors, such as wind and fire, which can impact the types of species that inhabit regions exposed to these types of disturbances.
