In both LB and M9-amino acids medium, the biodiversity index stabilizes at values ≤ ln(2), the maximum biodiversity attainable when only 2 strains co-inhabit a habitat.
We also calculated the suitable area for mammals in the upper reaches of Minjiang River and biodiversity of medium and large-sized mammals with Genera-Family index (G-F index).
Our results suggest that medium tree densities may provide biodiversity benefits concordant with more natural areas, yet not adversely impact on pasture production.
Hotspots of high vulnerability by 2050 under a medium emissions scenario included: Significant loss of biodiversity in areas such as alpine regions, the Wet Tropics, the Australian southwest, Kakadu wetlands, coral reefs, and sub-Antarctic islands.
Other opponents of smart growth maintain that the focus on medium- to high-density developments actually reduces biodiversity in developed areas because all the land is given over to concentrated human uses.
If the temperature increase is at the medium to high end of the estimated range, then a biodiversity catastrophe is very likely.
Maintaining a medium density of overstorey trees in grazed paddocks can provide both production and biodiversity benefits.
The timescale of interest might be short, such as for animal behaviour, medium, such as migration and demographic processes, or long, such as for changes in species ranges, composition and biodiversity, or for evolutionary processes.
The species was listed as vulnerable under the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act 1995 in 2005 and the Australian Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 in 2006, which means that it is at risk of extinction in the "medium term".
Although the configuration of existing and planned cross-domain infrastructure such as LifeWatch supports biodiversity informatics well, the domain will place heavy capacity demands on the computing infrastructure in the medium-term.
