Site productivity, as affected by soil nutrients and available moisture is often characterized using an edatopic grid.
Protein-DNA binding affinity is often characterized using patterns in DNA (motifs), a key step toward TFBS discovery.
The elasticity of a material is often characterized using the elastic modulus, defined as the ratio of stress, the force per unit area, to strain, the fractional change in length of a sample: where E is the elastic modulus, σ is the stress, ε0 is the strain, F is the applied force, A is the area, Δ l is the change in length, and l0 is the original length of the sample.
