Sentence examples for minimum abundance from inspiring English sources
Minimum abundance occurred in the second or third breeding season after fire, possibly due to site tenacity or increased food availability.
Hence, only plots containing at least one of these host plant species at a minimum abundance (>5% cover in May 2006) were used for this study (Table S1).
Low estimates of minimum abundance (about 25 mature females) confirm that the population came perilously close to extinction during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, while a low estimated growth rate (4.6%) suggests a rate of recovery slower than that reported for some other southern right whale breeding stocks.
For that reason, the abundance estimates using this method will always result in a minimum abundance.
1,658 proteins were above the minimum abundance threshold for confident quantitation (Additional file 2: Tables S1 and S2).
For this, a dendogram was constructed based upon the top 50 subsystems at 0.8% minimum abundance using pearson correlation distance.
Pooled data were used to reach minimum abundances for index calculation and to fulfil the criteria of the multihabitat sampling technique of the WFD protocols.
By 2100, we predict expected minimum abundances (EMA) to decline by 66% (under GFDL-CM2 A1FI climate projections) or 87% (CSIRO Mk3.5 A1Fin in the absence of fire.
The ecological quality class (EQC) values could not be analysed with statistics due to the need for pooling data over all replicates to reach minimum abundances for index calculation.
Multivariate community analysis of overall data sets is independent of indicator taxa and minimum abundances and can be carried out with any set of species that may occur using the full number of replicates.
The WFD evaluation system and similar indices strongly depend on the presence of distinct indicator taxa at minimum abundances from each group included, which reduces their applicability in ecosystems with high anthropogenic pressure and dominance of neobiota (Arndt et al. 2009).
