Then, we calculated and analysed functional connectivity from areas projected to lose environmental suitability towards areas keeping suitable conditions.
By contrast, areas that are near the thermal optimum were predicted to experience a decrease in overall environmental suitability.
By accounting for seasonal variation in temperature, the model provides a baseline for mechanistically understanding environmental suitability for virus transmission by Aedes aegypti.
Simultaneously, the environmental suitability of the land was assessed through modifying an ecological model developed by Makhdoum (2001).
But the Board of Education, which would help pay off construction costs by contributing $4.8 million and leasing the new building for 30 years, has delayed approval for three years, questioning the site's environmental suitability.
Some longtime residents questioned the environmental suitability of a huge development in a flood-prone place and wondered if this area could ever support high-end development and pricey shops.
While land use decisions are influenced by many factors other than environmental suitability, changes in suitability may have dramatic impacts on ecosystems in temperate dryland regions16 and the non-agricultural ecosystem services that they currently provide.
We also demonstrate that the predicted thermal minimum for Zika transmission is 5°C warmer than that of dengue, and current global estimates on the environmental suitability for Zika are greatly over-predicting its possible range.
This paper presents a comprehensive study to evaluate the mechanical properties and environmental suitability of electric arc furnace (EAF) steel slag in bituminous paving mixtures.
A related issue in sealed, self-contained environments is post-fire clean up, and sensors to evaluate the environmental suitability in crewed quarters.
The resulting binary maps were combined to display the proportion of models that indicated a good environmental suitability for Trypanosoma-positive rodents.
