It is important to note that the indication "conditional" is not intended to be applied to land for which the interpretation is uncertain, either in the sense that its suitability is marginal or because factors relevant to suitability are not understood.
We defined four classes of habitat suitability: (1) unsuitable, (2) marginal, (3) suitable and (4) optimal habitat.
Recently, Miscanthus has been considered one of the most promising bioenergy crops for lignocellulosic bioethanol production owing to its superior characteristics such as high biomass yield, wide suitability to cultivation on marginal land, and low fertilizer requirement2,3,4.
The differences in the results for the velocity field around the mast were found to be marginal and recommendations for the overall suitability of any individual RANS-based turbulence model for such flows were inconclusive.
These include an uptake mechanism limited to cells in S-phase, marginal tumor selectivity, extremely poor in vivo stability, and lack of suitability for use with radiometals such as 111In and 67Ga, which have half lives of about 3 days and thus could be more practical alternatives for clinical use than 60-day half life 125I.
We judged a climate axis to be "important" if its percent contribution exceeded 10%, and we evaluated the suitability of each climatic condition on the basis of the marginal response curves.
Two variables with marginal significance at the screening level (p-value close to 0.150), namely, the soils' suitability to produce habitat for coniferous hardwood trees and the latest month when natural annual flooding could end in a normal year, as well as the next least significant variable: the overall clay content (p = 0.141), had to be removed before convergence was reached.
Suitability isn't so simple.
Merit, suitability – these matter too.
