Specifically applied to the deep sea, Levin et al. [21] presented a schematic model based on five ecological forces (productivity, flow, bottom-water oxygen, sediment heterogeneity, biotic disturbance) to predict regional-scale variation of local diversity (1 10 m2).
The method uses existing globally available web-based databases and models to provide an ecological score based on five key ecological features (biodiversity, vulnerability, fragmentation, connectivity and resilience) for every 300 m parcel within a given region.
Based on two case studies of ecological engineering flood defence projects, we demonstrate that important ambiguities are directly related to unpredictability and incomplete knowledge in cascades of interrelated uncertainties.
Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) models were used to rank the planning works of 30 urban wetland park based on four mainly factors, which included landscape ecological planning, landscape planning, ecological planning and economic planning.
Based on three European long-term socio-ecological research (LTSER) platforms, we analyze the model's applicability and suitability as well as data availability and research needs.
They used these location data to define each species' ecological niche based on four conditions: temperature, precipitation, elevation, and vegetation.
Opposition to the project was based on three separate objections to its construction: ecological, human, and financial.
The basis treatment program is based on two theoretical models: the social competence model (Slot 1988; Slot and Spanjaard 1999) and the ecological model of Bronfenbrenner (1979, 1994).
We also developed a phylogenetic hypothesis of the New World species based on five molecular markers (three mitochondrial and two nuclear) as a framework to evaluate the evolutionary history, the ecological diversification and speciation patterns of this group.
A comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) analysis with a DNA microarray based on three Y. enterocolitica and four Y. pseudotuberculosis genomes was conducted to shed light on the genetic traits and ecological specializations explaining the epidemiological differences between enteropathogenic Yersinia.
