Biodiversity's "abiotic, ""non-living", "inorganic" and inanimate matrix is inseparable from, encapsulating of all organisms, shaping their form, structure, behaviour, communications, life. Components of the matrix are : water(made possible all aquatic life and determined their forms and other characteristics), air(made possible : flying birds, lungs, leaves, communications, etc.), soil(made possible : roots, microflora and fauna, etc.), sediment(made possible all organisms that live in sediments), limestone and other biotic rocks(makes mollusc shells, bones, etc.), minerals, nutrients,(essential for animal blood; plant food).  1, record 2, English, - biotic%20rock

La matrice essentielle de la biodiversité. La matrice «abiotique, «non vivante», «inorganique» et «inanimée» de la biodiversité est indissociable de l'ensemble des organismes, rend leur existence possible et les englobe. Elle en détermine la forme, la structure,le comportement, les modes de communication, les cycles vitaux, etc. Voici les éléments de cette matrice : l'eau (qui a rendu possibles les organismes aquatiques, dont elle détermine la forme et les autre caractéristiques); l'air (qui a rendu possibles les oiseaux volants, les poumons, les feuilles, les communications, etc.  1, record 3, French, - matrice%20abiotique

Nutrient cycling is an ecosystem level function because nutrients are essential to organisms and because of the pervasive and complex pathways and geochemical processes involved. The term "biogeochemical" cycles has been coined to describe the nature of this phenomenon. Its pervasive and essential presence is an explicit example of the fifth inseparable dimension of biodiversity, namely the abiotic biodiversity matrix.  1, record 4, English, - abiotic%20matrix%20of%20biodiversity

Les indicateurs les plus critiques de l'«état de la biodiversité» doivent nous renseigner sur la biodiversité en soi et non pas uniquement sur les tendances en matière de substances chimiques toxiques et de qualité de l'eau, des sols ou de l'air, même si ces paramètres peuvent nous renseigner sur l'état de la matrice abiotique de la biodiversité.  1, record 4, French, - matrice%20abiotique%20de%20la%20biodiversit%C3%A9
