  2. Abiotic component - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiotic_component

    Humans can make or change abiotic factors in a species' environment. For instance, fertilizers can affect a snail's habitat, or the greenhouse gases which humans utilize can change marine pH levels. Abiotic components include physical conditions and non-living resources that affect living organisms in terms of growth, maintenance, and ...

  3. Transmission tower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_tower

    Transmission tower in Toronto, ON Single-circuit three-phase transmission line Transmission towers on a hill field. Three-phase electric power systems are used for high voltage (66- or 69-kV and above) and extra-high voltage (110- or 115-kV and above; most often 138- or 230-kV and above in contemporary systems) AC transmission lines.

  4. Mycorrhizal network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycorrhizal_network

    Because natural environments contain many different plant and fungal species as well as various other biotic and abiotic factors interacting with one another, it is difficult to verify the effect of interactions occurring via the mycorrhizal network in a field setting.

  5. Environmental gradient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_gradient

    The abiotic factors that environmental gradients consist of can have a direct ramifications on organismal survival. Generally, organismal distribution is tied to those abiotic factors, but even an environmental gradient of one abiotic factor yields insight into how a species distribution might look.

  6. Transposition (transmission lines) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transposition...

    By twisting, the wires become longer than the cable. The stranding factor indicates the relationship of single wire length to cable length; it amounts to with communication cables about 1.02 to 1.04. In open wire lines used for long-distance (trunk or toll) telephone circuits, transposition was used for reducing cross-talk. Originally used to ...

  8. Dead-end tower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead-end_tower

    Dead-end towers are used at regular intervals in a long transmission line to limit the cascading tower failures that might occur after a conductor failure. An in-line dead-end tower will have two sets of strain insulators supporting the lines in either direction, with the lines connected by a jumper between the two segments.
