Sentence examples for common biodiversity from inspiring English sources

Semi-natural grasslands and shrublands in Europe, which still lack a common biodiversity monitoring scheme, are used as a model for the framework.

Together with a team of 20 local experts composed of officials, stakeholders and scientists, we selected five common biodiversity indicators: landscape diversity, undissected landscape, hemeroby, naturalness of the riparian area and agricultural intensity.

We present results of a study in which we used high-throughput DNA sequencing to estimate phylogenies from nearly all the genes in the plastid genomes and compared 12 PD metrics to the four most common traditional biodiversity indices (i.e., those diversity metrics that do not incorporate phylogenetic information) across three North American prairie preserves.

Using functional groups, as opposed to taxonomic species, is common in biodiversity-ecosystem functioning studies that have been conducted in plant communities [16], [21] [23] but relatively few studies have applied this approach to multi-trophic communities.

The early foundations of that regional biodiversity-plus-costs framework include some little-explored aspects that could enhance the common ground of biodiversity and ecosystem services: here, planning includes land/water uses offering ecosystem services or other benefits, combined with only "partial protection" of biodiversity (implying some lower complementarity value).

One of the most common indicators of biodiversity is Shannon's entropy H′, which is strictly related to environmental heterogeneity, and thus to species diversity.

Despite their common focus on biodiversity conservation, retention forestry is different from the reduced-impact forestry that is implemented with selective logging.

We propose a modelling framework to identify and rank multiscale environmental predictors of transboundary distribution of invasive species based on scarce occurrence data (a common limitation in biodiversity modelling studies; Lomba et al. 2010; Vicente et al. 2011).

The results indicate that a "dual adaptive" management system based on natural succession and supplemented by appropriate manual intervention should be implemented, and the management efficiency and flexibility should be improved to meet the common needs of biodiversity conservation and economic development.

In addition, the non-linear relationship between productivity and species richness (one common measure of biodiversity) is far from clear in all systems, but is considered the dominant model at local scales and across community types [13].

Such differences nevertheless can be the basis for "common ground" for biodiversity and ecosystem services.
