AGB models developed from a small number of samples and limited tree diameter range have the potential risk to be biased, especially when applied beyond their sample characteristic as well as geographical, biophysical and forest boundaries (van Breugel et al. 2011; Manuri et al. 2014).
Edge effects (biophysical gradients near habitat boundaries) might reduce population sizes on spared land, particularly in highly-fragmented landscapes, so might change conclusions about whether land sparing or land sharing is better for species' persistence.
However, such studies were carried out on individual proteins under particular biophysical and biochemical boundary conditions.
The classification obtained with monthly climatologies offers the flexibility to include the time dimension; the boundaries of biophysical regions established are not fixed, but vary in time.
She received a Ph.D. in biophysics and biophysical chemistry from Johns Hopkins University.
The CF area was subtracted from the watershed boundary, to extract biophysical parameters for both CF and non-CF regimes.
The indicator set is designed for gathering information on the definition (spatial boundaries, constituent cities, population, economy), biophysical characteristics (climate, population density, building floor area), and metabolic flows (water, waste, materials, and all types of energy) of megacities.
Urbanization related alterations to the surface energy balance impact urban warming ('heat islands'), the growth of the boundary layer, and many other biophysical processes.
Scalar problems in water governance are often ascribed to institutionalized scalar classifications and boundaries that exhibit misfits with the biophysical system (e.g., Cash and others 2006).
