In addition, we evaluated potential effect modification according to the number of physician visits in the year before the study period (0, 1 2, 3 5, ≥ 6 visits for respiratory ICD-9 codes, and 0, 1–2, 3 5, ≥ 6 visits for cardiovascular ICD-9 codes, 1 July 2002 through 30 June 2003) as a potential indicator of preexisting sensitivity to fire smoke.
The sensitivities of SOCC and SOCD to fire disturbance were inconsistent due to changes in soil bulk density.
With a high percentage germination through IVC this species could be a major beneficiary of this process, especially given its low abundance and sensitivity to anthropogenic fire.
These changes are reflected in a significant increase of vegetation sensitivity to forest fires measured by the forest fire risk (FR) index developed in the framework of MEDALUS project.
The geographical pattern of vegetation emerges as a result of different responses of plant functional types to climate, with respect to productivity, bioclimatic constraints, access to resources and space, and sensitivity to natural disturbances such as fire.
Wildfire incidence and fire severity (FS), in association with the values in threat and the sensitivity of these values to fire, are some of its constituent parameters.
In contrast, in most computational models and data analysis it is assumed that the retinal image is available directly in the instantaneous firing rate because the sensitivity to a certain image feature is defined in terms of the instantaneous firing rate [13], [14], [20] [24].
Past results have shown that input fluctuations can establish a regime of high spike-time reliability [38, 39] or high sensitivity of firing frequency to input current strength [37, 40, 41], and tuning background input levels to facilitate or suppress postsynaptic activity is at least biologically plausible.
Among ecological communities, insects are important bioindicators of fire disturbance due to their sensitivity to environmental change and habitat requirements.
