English to German translations [PRO]
Science - Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-) / Biology/Chemistry
English term or phrase: cross-kingdom interactions
The meaning is interactions on molecular level between organisms that belong to different kingdoms (taxonomy of organisms).

The original text is a scientific paper. Here is an example of the phrase in context:
"[...] occurrence and diversity of metabolites used as chemical mediators in cross-kingdom interactions within aquatic systems"

How would you translate cross-kingdom? Maybe Reich-übergreifend?


Thank you.
