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 2, French, - abiotique

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 2, French, - abiotique
