Sentence examples for length of boundaries from inspiring English sources

It is found that more diversified field configurations (in terms of crop age) with the total length of boundaries shared between differently aged crops at a minimum, yield lower average infestation levels.

Species richness of carabids was lower in landscapes with high length of boundaries and a high amount of non-cropped open habitats during early stages of the beetles' colonisation of arable fields.

The shape of these plots is usually circular or rectangular and the attributes measured on the plot can be either a sum of discrete objects (e.g. number of trees and the sum of their volume) or some measure of a continuous attribute (e.g. proportion of the plot covering forest, percent crown cover, and length of boundaries).

Within the three radii the total length of boundaries between different types of land-cover was measured, as especially forest boundaries and field margins are known to be important both for nest searching and foraging bumble bees [49] [51].

Diversity was negatively related to the amount of impervious surface (I) within a radius of 300, 500 or 1000 m, and consequently also related to several other variables strongly correlated with I, such as proportion of forest and length of boundaries towards forest (both positively related to diversity; Table S1).

Let (A_{r}^{M}, L_{r}^{M} ) be, respectively, the area and the length of boundary of (D_{r}^{M}).

Habitat fragmentation causes increasing length of boundary, reduces size of patches and respectively halts normal functioning of ecological processes (Collinge 1996).

In particular, we aim at properly expressing the trend of coastal dune mosaic integrity in two Italian LTER sites over the last sixty years by applying a generalized diversity function on the number and length of boundary types.

Since the functionality of coastal dunes is affected by the specific contiguity among different dune habitat patches, in this paper we propose the use of landscape integrity, expressed by the number and length of boundary types among the aforementioned habitats, as an ecosystem functionality indicator.

Contiguity-based weighted neighbourhoods can also be weighted, for instance, by length of shared boundaries.

where each f i (x, y) is defined on Ω and expresses the characteristic of the i th subdomain, | ∂ Ω i | expresses the length of the boundaries of subdomains Ω i.
