Sentence examples for local richness from inspiring English sources

Importantly, estimates tended to reach asymptotes, suggesting that local richness was appropriately appraised.

Local richness of large and intermediate carabid species showed a marginally significant decrease with increasing field cover.

The local richness predicted by all scenarios varied from 1 to 32 species per cell while gamma diversity was 34.

Additionally, a threshold value for classification probability was optimized to define an "unclassified" class that allows using this algorithm even when the training sample does not represent an exhaustive sample of local richness.

The assumed relationship between biodiversity or local richness and the persistence of 'ecosystem services' (that can sustain productivity on-site as well as off-site, e.g. through regulation of water flow and storage) in agricultural landscapes has generated considerable interest and a range of experimental approaches.

In other words, only randomizations of the cell values that maintained the observed distributions of local richnesses and species distribution sizes were used.

Crown projection area, relative crown displacement and stem inclination were related to biotic (local species richness, functional richness, competition, stand age) and abiotic (slope aspect and inclination, soil depth) variables in the local neighbourhood of the tree individuals.

This shows the importance of taking local species richness (via richness maps) into account, specifically for wetlands, since they are hotspots of biodiversity.
