limiting element

Iron is under consideration as the true limiting element in the ocean.

Under most environmental conditions it is the limiting element because of its small concentration in soil and high demand by plants and microorganisms.

The limiting element was Chlorine, an essential element to process regolith for Aluminium.

The availability of hotel rooms, not airline seats, is the limiting element, according to Jackie Pash, a spokeswoman for Swissair.

There are few rock types that lead to localized enrichment of some of the biologically limiting elements like phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N).

When it comes to temperature resistance, the adhesive is also typically is the performance limiting element of a laminate especially when polyimide is the base material.

In the productivity of Lake Vanda phosphorus is a limiting element (Vincent and Vincent, 1982), because of gravitational losses into the sediment and lack of turbulence to return it to general circulation.

On July 3, 2012 it issued a more substantial set of "interim guidelines" for "process claims in which a law of nature, natural phenomenon, or naturally occurring relation or correlation is a limiting element or step" that replaced the preliminary guidelines.
