Since this functional role is likely to be altered by global change and associated shifts in plant communities, a thorough understanding of large scale drivers on below-ground processes independent of regional differences in soil type or climate is essential.
Human agency also fosters the alteration of large-scale drivers of change at the local level.
Altogether, these activities represent unmistakable large-scale drivers of change toward the ecological form and function of the entire biogeographic region.
In any event, while Lake Baikal may be at the intersection of large-scale climate teleconnections on various scales at different times, these large scale drivers will always be filtered through local and regional dynamics to produce the observed lake conditions.
The North is a frontier for exploration of emerging infectious diseases and the large-scale drivers influencing distribution, host associations, and evolution of pathogens among persons, domestic animals, and wildlife.
In the coming years, large scale testing of candidate drivers (culled from the TCGA type efforts) in zebrafish leukemic lines will be necessary for these models to further demonstrate their worth.
In summary, WGCNA represents an alternative strategy to large scale sequencing for the identification of potential oncogenic drivers, based on a systems view of signaling networks.
A comparative analysis of these ecosystems, might elucidate the relative role of the large scale (climate) vs. the local scale (fishing, eutrophication) drivers on this component of plankton.
A component of the evaluation design of the Avahan intervention includes two rounds of large scale cross-sectional surveys of long distance truck drivers with both a behavioral and biological component [ 26].
Are the large scale IT systems of the past redundant?
In this context, the societal issues could be considered as interactive drivers on a very large scale, spurring the development of enabling technologies and new discovery.
