Les milieux abiotiques sont en fait quasi inexistants à la surface du globe.

abiotique : Selon de très nombreux auteurs, cet adjectif se dit aussi d'un facteur de l'environnement de nature physique ou chimique. Le Grand Robert signale qu'on dit aussi «non biotiques» pour désigner ces facteurs, et le Conseil international de la langue française précise que, pour rendre cette notion, ce dernier terme est préférable. 2, record 3, French, - abiotique

A series of processes in which atmospheric sulfur dioxide is oxidized to the trioxide, which combines with water and is washed out on to the Earth's surface as sulfuric acid or sulfates; bacterial action converts the sulfates into hydrogen sulfide, which is then oxidized to sulfur dioxide. This mechanism maintains the global atmospheric concentration of sulfur dioxide at a roughly constant level, and it is important to ensure that the extra sulfur dioxide produced by man does not overload it, leading to steadily increasing concentration in the air. 3, record 5, English, - sulfur%20cycle
