Qualifie un milieu où la vie est impossible, où les organismes vivants ne peuvent exister. 2, record 1, French, - abiotique
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Les milieux abiotiques sont en fait quasi inexistants à la surface du globe. Même dans des conditions drastiques(grandes profondeurs marines, haute atmosphère, domaine cavernicole, résurgences d’eaux chaudes etc., il existe des formes de vie primitive(bactéries en particulier) ou des formes de résistance(spores, graines...) très adaptées. L'ensemble des milieux abiotiques constitue le complément exact de la biosphère. 3, record 1, French, - abiotique
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
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 1, French, - abiotique

Les bactéries adaptées à l'environnement de la racine sont appelées rhizobactéries. Elles ont soit un effet négatif sur la croissance de la plante(compétition pour les nutriments, pathogènes, etc.), soit un effet neutre. D'autres ont un effet bénéfique sur la plante et sont appelées les rhizobactéries promotrices de la croissance végétale ou PGPR(«plant growth promoting rhizobacteria »). 2, record 2, French, - rhizobact%C3%A9rie%20favorisant%20la%20croissance%20des%20plantes
