Revegetation Priorities
Revegetation is a needed means of mitigating man-made and natural disturbance. Our current ability to address environmental insults contrasts sharply with that existing when John Muir fi rst sowed the roots of environmental awareness or Aldo Leopold and Hugh H. Bennett inspired a land ethic and a sense of stewardship. We now have considerable revegetation science and experience and—equally impo...
متن کاملMeasurement of Population Diversity
In evolutionary algorithms (EAs), the need to efficiently measure population diversity arises in a variety of contexts, including operator adaptation, algorithm stopping and re-starting criteria, and fitness sharing. In this paper we introduce a unified measure of population diversity and define its relationship to the most common phenotypic and genotypic diversity measures. We further demonstr...

متن کاملThe measurement of water scarcity: Defining a meaningful indicator
Metrics of water scarcity and stress have evolved over the last three decades from simple threshold indicators to holistic measures characterising human environments and freshwater sustainability. Metrics commonly estimate renewable freshwater resources using mean annual river runoff, which masks hydrological variability, and quantify subjectively socio-economic conditions characterising adapti...
متن کاملREP provides meaningful measurement of support across datasets.
The relative optimality of the best and next-best hypotheses indicates the strength of support for the optimal hypothesis and may be calculated as either the difference or ratio of their optimality scores. The Goodman-Bremer support measure (GB) calculates the support for a given clade in the most parsimonious tree as the difference between the length of the optimal tree and the optimal tree th...
