Sentence examples for evenness as from inspiring English sources

We quantified community and functional responses of a temperate forest lizard community to fire and rotational logging using metrics including species-specific abundance, community abundance, species richness and evenness, as well as trait-based measures of functional diversity.

It is increasingly clear that ecosystem function is underpinned by evenness as well as species richness [ 28– 30].

Data points without or with only one sampled species were omitted from the evaluation of evenness, as no meaningful values could be calculated.

Where another sort of film might periodically crank up the tempo and amplify the drama and passion, Gray sternly keeps things lower and slower, with a concerted evenness, as if wanting us to remain detached from Fawcett's passions.

Because the richness and evenness components of species diversity may respond differently to habitat fragmentation, we suggest that monitoring projects and empirical studies that focus on changes in biodiversity in semi-natural grasslands should include the assessment of species evenness – as a complement to the assessment of species richness.

Plots or areas with more number of species will definitely count for higher diversity and evenness as diversity and evenness in most cases are concurrent to each other.

Forest age also plays an important role for defining forest features; not only do forest biomass and tree height increase with forest age, but species diversity and evenness increase as well.

As a third estimate we computed the functional evenness, FEve, as the regularity with which the functional space is filled by species, using the regularity of branch lengths in a minimum spanning tree and evenness in species abundances [10].

Current evaluation indexes for the pavement evenness, such as the international roughness index (IRI), are mainly determined by the vibration acceleration method.

Pielou's classical Shannon evenness definition as ln(q = 1D /ln(S) was included in our analyses because of its traditionally widespread use in ecology.

We also determined the evenness (expressed as Simpson's evenness measure E1/D) of the microbial communities using Terminal Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism for these samples, as this measure is more closely related to species richness of the soil microbial community than the number of fragments found in a sample [30].
