The bathymetry of the Hudson is such that appropriate water depths and appropriate substrate for oyster growth are sparse down-estuary from TZ-HB, so the total area with suitable water column and benthic conditions could be expected to decrease with a shift in the salinity distribution toward the mouth.
In the second sample the growth was sparse, and could easily have been overlooked.
In the scaffolds that were seeded with control cells, cell growth was sparse, and as a result, the spaces between the atelocollagen matrix remained mostly empty.
All samples grew G. bethesdensis within 3 weeks on a variety of media (Middlebrook 7H11, BCYE, and fungal media), but growth was sparse.
The evidence concerning growth and life expectancy is sparse but growing.
Herbaceous growth is usually sparse but horsetails, primarily Equisetum sylvaticum and E. arvense, may provide as much as 50% cover in flood-plain stands.
Isolation of G. bethesdensis is time-consuming, growth is consistently sparse, and initial definitive identification requires sequencing the 16S rRNA gene.
The epidemiologic evidence for an association between exposure to THMs and indicators of fetal growth is relatively sparse and inconsistent, and few studies have investigated this relationship with respect to HAAs.
However, while it is acknowledged that vegetation imparts additional strength to soil via its reinforcing root network, the amount of information recording the development and growth of a species' root system is sparse, particularly for larger trees (e.g. Mao et al. 2013).
Although much is known about how these factors influence fetal growth, information on the exact mechanisms underlying the association between fetal growth and asthma and allergic disease is sparse.
