Sentence examples for proxies for changes from inspiring English sources

Given the small changes in soil temperature and pore water electrical conductivity, we interpreted changes of soil electrical resistivity from 3-D ERT data as proxies for changes in soil water content.

Cores can potentially yield continuous records when sampled in stable parts of lake basins and can provide proxies for changes in lake level, water temperature and chemistry, and ecological conditions in the surrounding landscape.

Glaciers are sensitive to climate change and their predictable behavior "makes them one of the most reliable proxies for changes in summer temperature," Gifford Miller, one of the paper's authors and a climate scientist at the University of Colorado Boulder, said in a statement.

These observations support the practice of using parasite genetic measures as proxies for changes in malaria transmission following enhanced intervention.

For example, while one study reported that BMI z-score is the best BMI measure for assessing adiposity in children and/or adolescents [ 100], another [ 101], as well as more recent research [ 102], suggests that both absolute and relative changes in BMI in kg·m−2 are better proxies for changes in adiposity.

Change in BMI and BMI percentage were the best proxies for change in fat mass or fat mass index; BMI centile change performed less well.

A final issue that needs to be discussed is the use of SDS-BMI and behavioral computer tasks as proxies for change in dietary intake.

To investigate the influence of soil erosion state and N fertilization form on soil C dynamics, we present dynamic and seasonal net ecosystem carbon balances (NECB) as a proxy for changes in soil organic carbon stocks.

We conclude that there is no single 'best' scale that could function as a proxy for changes in bird communities because each species and functional guild is uniquely affected by the environment, and suggest that efforts should be focused on finding indicators that encompasses all scales and the needs of different taxa.

As discussed earlier, the spatial variability between SABER 1 and 2 is not significant and this is taken as a proxy for changes, or rather the lack of change, in temperature with time.

The core size, the presence of an inner core, and the wavespeed profile of the outer core, whose radial derivative provides a proxy for changes in composition, are key observables to seek.
