Both "by abiotic stresses" and "by the abiotic stresses" can be correct depending on the context.

by abiotic stresses

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English.

This phrase is used to indicate that something is caused or affected by various abiotic stressors without specifying any particular ones.

Examples:

  • Plants can be affected by abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures.
  • If the option of using specific analyses is used, a physical-chemical experiment may be performed in order to check whether the test substance is removed by abiotic mechanisms, such as hydrolysis or adsorption.

Alternatives:

  • by environmental factors
  • by external stressors

by the abiotic stresses

This phrase is correct but less commonly used in English. It is more specific and refers to particular abiotic stressors.

This phrase is used when referring to specific abiotic stressors that have been previously mentioned or are known to the speaker and listener.

Examples:

  • The crops were damaged by the abiotic stresses of drought and heat.
  • If necessary, for example if a test chemical is known or suspected to have strong reducing properties, a mixture FA should be prepared to measure the abiotic oxygen consumption.
  • For the purpose of Directive 2008/56/EC, the term habitat addresses both the abiotic characteristics and the associated biological community, treating both elements together in the sense of the term biotope.
  • As it stands, the text refers to only certain parts of the biotic environment (plants and animals) and the abiotic environment (e.g. water).
  • The abiotic control does not need to be repeated if there was no oxygen uptake in the preliminary test, but if significant uptake occurs abiotic controls should be included for each concentration of test chemical.
  • In the same way, a curve for the reference chemical, FC, is plotted and, if included, for the abiotic elimination check, FS and the inhibition control, FI.

Alternatives:

  • by those abiotic stresses
  • by specific abiotic stressors
