Sentence examples for biotic pattern from inspiring English sources

Regionally, within the Gulf of Alaska, the RELATE test showed depth to be significantly related to the biotic pattern (Rho = 0.53; p<0.01%).

The BEST procedure, used to link 11 environmental variables available for all sites (Table 8) to the family-based biotic pattern, showed a significant relationship between the community structure and environmental variables (Rho = 0.70; p<3%) on the global scale.

Linking 11 environmental variables available for all sites to the best fit family-based biotic pattern showed a significant relationship, with the single best explanatory variable being the level of organic pollution and the best combination overall being organic pollution and primary productivity.

Linking of community assemblage to environmental measures was undertaken to find the best match between the multivariate among-sample patterns and environmental variables, where the extent of pattern matching reflects the degree to which environmental data 'explain' the biotic pattern using both BEST and RELATE analyses [28].

We can expect marginal populations of ecosystem engineers in suboptimal habitats to contribute to spatial heterogeneity in biotic patterns and eventual ecosystem stability.

However, humans have been altering biotic patterns across the world since the "Age of Exploration" [ 7], and for many regions species introductions precede complete biodiversity inventories, obscuring our ability to distinguish introduced from native flora and fauna.

"Our study suggests that the geologically hypothesized uplift (thickening) and strike-slip extrusion must have occurred simultaneously to generate the observed biotic distribution pattern" some 23-24 million years ago, the authors wrote in their paper.

Restoring a stream's physical and biotic dynamic patterns leads to ecosystem structure and function (e.g., energy flow, nutrient cycling, and community resilience) that more closely approximates the natural condition.

Our results greatly improve our understanding of the community dynamics of acoustic signaling and reveal how patterns in biotic noise shape the frequency and timing of bird vocalizations in tropical forests.

His research focuses on Himalayan ecology and conservation that follows a synthesis approach to understanding ecological patterns, biotic extinctions driven by changes in land use, and genomic traits influencing plant invasiveness and rarity.

Porites growth anomalies (PorGA) were optimally predicted by turbidity (abiotic), Porites tissue loss (PorTL) and Montipora white syndrome (MWS) by a decline in reef fish abundances (biotic), whilst spatial patterns of Porites trematodiasis (PorTrem) were optimally predicted by Porites host cover (biotic).
