Fig. 1: Global distributions of water table ratios and groundwater response times with their conceptual interpretation as metrics of climate groundwater interactions.
We conducted a systematic review to assess where – the geographic locations and habitat types - and how – the study designs, conceptual underpinnings, landscape metrics and biodiversity measures - scientists have studied fragmentation over the last two decades.
This paper describes the components of the framework; this includes the conceptual model, core metrics to be measured in all sites, and standard guidelines for reporting on the implementation of partnership activities and contextual factors that may affect implementation, or the results it produces.
RST also forms the conceptual basis of defining metrics for measuring the closeness between bnode pairs.
Both authors developed the conceptual classification of network metrics as indicators and contributed to writing.
4. Develop conceptual clarity around and metrics to evaluate 'impact' of research on policy and populations.
Cyclic movements represent a repetitive exposure pattern which offers a conceptual base for investigating metrics for exposure variation.
Not only is current conceptual development in HRH metrics limited, but so too is the development of methods and formulae allowing the measurement of situations such as the relationships among health personnel, their working conditions and population health [ 10].
Conceptual models are compared using metrics for pressure and solute travel time that represent propagation of 50% change in each variable from river to observation point.
Most metrics provided a conceptual model or scientific justification (97%), were developed by correlation to environmental gradients (46%), were tested over multiple seasons or years (49%) and at multiple sites (88%).
They argue that "competitive metrics and dominant conceptual frameworks stress individual and competitive excellence, 'knowledge acquisition,' and preparation for narrowly acquisitive and individual achievement-oriented careers".
