Multiple predictor models predicting canopy attributes from climatic and disturbance predictors suggested that whilst climate, and in particular MWD, was the main driver of variability in canopy structure across plots, climate interacted with the protection status of a forest in determining forest canopy structure.
We look forward to further studies that attempt to unravel the phylogenetic association between the composition and concentration of eggshell pigments and the evolutionary drivers and functional impacts of variability in eggshell colour.
However, the observation of both of these drivers of seasonal variability in each study area suggests that they may play an important role in many other aquifer systems that also have stratified water quality and strong vertical gradients in hydraulic head.
Quantifying contributions of known drivers of interannual variability in the growth rate of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is important for improving the representation of terrestrial ecosystem processes in these ESMs.
It should be noted that non-climate factors that were undocumented in this study (e.g., population immunity, vector control interventions) are also key drivers of interannual variability in dengue [ 26, 74, 75] and most likely influenced the 2010 outbreak.
Our assessment of the drivers of variability between allometric model selection remains speculative.
2) What does the model suggest are likely drivers of variability between patients?
Bioassessment programs that invest in long-term monitoring at a network of reference and non-reference sites will be able to identify drivers of variability and prevent erroneous determinations of impairment.
The spectral analysis quantifies the energetic frequencies/timescales of net ecosystem exchange of carbon (NEE) or ET fluxes and relates them to the timescales of variability in climatic drivers.
