The difference was mainly explained by a greater number of deaths from cancer and heart disease.
The model revealed that the DEA was mainly explained by the NEA activity (path coefficient = 0.61, P < 0.001).
The seagrass presence was mainly explained by two clear ecological gradients: (i) sea-inner shoreline and (ii) channel-tidal flats.
This fungicide mitigation efficiency was mainly explained by the plant density and size-related properties of the vegetated systems.

In 2012, (moderate infestation), the natural biocontrol was mainly explained by the natural enemies (species richness, 23.5% of variation) followed by a shared effect of natural enemies and landscape context (15.5%).
The results showed that the rates of fish by-catch from the research vessel were up to three times higher than from the commercial one, a situation that was mainly explained by the differences in the vessel's towing speeds.
