Sentence examples for biodiversity composition from inspiring English sources

Biodiversity was assessed by means of six indicators for three aspects of biodiversity: composition, structure and function.

As the foundation of these biodiversity patterns, the species-by-site matrix allows the immediate measurement of biodiversity composition and turnover within and across sites so that changes can be traced, assembly processes tentatively inferred, and environmental drivers identified (Dornelas et al. 2014; McGill et al. 2015).

At this time, natural functional elements probably represent the least understood drivers of biodiversity composition and structure.

Functional marine biodiversity elements are natural and anthropogenic processes and disturbances that operate at various spatial, ecological, and evolutionary scales to mold biodiversity composition and structure.

However, human uses of the marine environment, including disturbances to the environment and alteration of populations (through targeted removals and other effects), are considered within the set of functional elements because they can affect biodiversity composition, structure, and function [26].

We note that globally, numerous studies have looked at human impacts on biodiversity composition and structure [161], [162] and the response of communities when human disturbance is reduced [3], [163], [164].
