Baselines for existing facilities "will reflect the highest level of reported emissions over the historical period from 2009-10 to 2013-14, and will be adjusted to accommodate economic growth, natural resource variability and other circumstances where historical baselines are not representative of future emissions performance".
Although water resource variability has been attributed to various teleconnections, knowledge of long-term water resource availability is limited.
Arid and semi-arid environments are climatically unpredictable, characterized by low net primary productivity and high resource variability.
The spatial resource variability hypothesis states that as patchiness of resources increases, individuals use larger areas to obtain the resources necessary to meet energetic requirements.
Livestock mobility is the principal means by which pastoralists cope with and take full advantage of natural resource variability in drylands (Scoones 1995, Behnke et al. 1993).
Additionally, under the temporal resource variability hypothesis, seasonal variation in available resources can reduce distances moved while providing a variety of food sources.
Although continued measurements are needed to understand the interannual resource variability, the current study should have significant applications for preliminary technology selection, power plant modeling, and resource forecasting.
Because bumble bees are highly mobile, resource variability in the surrounding landscape is also important for colonies and may mediate local-scale effects.
The main objective of this research is to provide an assessment of annual and seasonal wave characteristics and resource variability at a wave energy site.
Service-oriented applications may require adaptation to tackle changing user needs, system intrusions or faults, changing operational environment, resource variability, etc.
