For interests in aerocapture and precision landing, comparisons concentrated on atmospheric density.

The importance of available substrates has also been shown to be crucial for the lichen and bryophyte communities in naturally afforested, former arable land in comparison to permanent forestland in Estonia [51], and in logged stands in comparison to un-logged stands in British Colombia, Canada [52], but then mostly for common species.
The study considered conserved landscapes (terraced hillside, terraced farmland and exclosure area) and non-conserved landscapes (non-terraced hillside, non-terraced farmland and open grazing land) for comparison using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).
The Picard draft came from the Picardy region, and was called the "horse of the bad land", in comparison to the Cauchoix horse from the Pays de Caux area, which was called the "horse of the good land".

Land-use comparisons generally showed improving water quality from pasture to planted forest to indigenous forest.
Due to the missing data from two of the non-finisher subjects during the stand test on landing day, comparisons of finishers and non-finishers was performed using an estimated mean square error.
Fig. 4 a EEZ and land surface area comparison; b approximated carbon stocks of sediment and soil organic carbon for Namibia, Pakistan and United Kingdom.
Significantly larger increases in SOC and TN stocks were observed after barren land afforestation in comparison to cropland and grassland afforestation.
