Catchment-specific peak discharge coefficient (Cp) showed a strong decreasing relation with vegetation cover (R2 = 0.85, P < 0.01), relative distance of vegetation cover from the thalweg (R2 = 0.55, P < 0.01), combined index of vegetation cover and its relative distance from the thalweg (R2 = 0.76, P < 0.01), catchment length (R2 = 0.37, P < 0.05) and time of concentration (R2 = 0.43, P < 0.05).
Non-metric multidimensional scaling (nMDS) using the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity index of the cover of coral genera recorded annually.
We also assessed occupancy in relation to burn history, elevation, and an index of canopy cover.
Finally, we used non-metric multidimensional scaling (nMDS) to examine interannual variation in the composition of the coral assemblage based on the Bray Curtis dissimilarity index of the cover of coral genera recorded annually.
A positive and negative transformation index of land-cover (PNTIL) was developed to quantitatively evaluate the land-cover changes in every type of BTZ.
The Charlson Index of Comorbidity covers 19 conditions, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus, intermittent claudication, acute myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, carotid stenosis, and cancer, each weighted according to its impact on survival.
A further six interviews were selected in a similar manner to add to the index to cover the introduction of solids.
Such sensors can, for example, be used to measure changing refractive indices of the cover medium of a waveguide, as well as molecule adsorption at the sensor surface.
We predict that the community-level effects of deer exclusion on understorey plants (i) will be generally positive, but will differ among plant functional groups and community indices of diversity, cover and abundance and (ii) will increase in magnitude with estimates of local deer density, time since the initiation of deer exclusion and experimental plot area.
Powder samples were embedded in Melt Mount with a refractive index of 1.662 and covered with a cover-glass.
