The biogeochemical heterogeneity of tropical forests.
Tropical forests are renowned for their biological diversity, but also harbor variable combinations of soil age, chemistry and susceptibility to erosion or tectonic uplift. Here we contend that the combined effects of this biotic and abiotic diversity promote exceptional biogeochemical heterogeneity at multiple scales. At local levels, high plant diversity creates variation in chemical and stru...
متن کاملQuantifying network heterogeneity.
Despite degree distributions give some insights about how heterogeneous a network is, they fail in giving a unique quantitative characterization of network heterogeneity. This is particularly the case when several different distributions fit for the same network, when the number of data points is very scarce due to network size, or when we have to compare two networks with completely different ...
متن کاملBiogeochemical Processes in River Systems
Biogeochemical processes in rivers are controlled by biological, chemical, geomorphic and hydrologic interactions. These interactions produce variable redox environments wherein microorganisms derive energy and synthesize tissue using oxidation-reduction reactions associated with several elements including C, N, P, S, and to a lesser extent Fe and Mn. Biogeochemistry of river water and surface ...
متن کاملQuantifying Heterogeneity of Cell Death
Heterogeneity is a common property of biological signalling systems. In most cases, heterogeneity is described qualitatively, only for some classes of responses have qualitative measures been proposed. For cell death signalling, this paper is the first to propose a quantification of heterogeneity. The challenge hereby is the dual aspect of heterogeneity. First, only part of the cell population ...
متن کاملQuantifying tumour heterogeneity with CT
Heterogeneity is a key feature of malignancy associated with adverse tumour biology. Quantifying heterogeneity could provide a useful non-invasive imaging biomarker. Heterogeneity on computed tomography (CT) can be quantified using texture analysis which extracts spatial information from CT images (unenhanced, contrast-enhanced and derived images such as CT perfusion) that may not be perceptibl...
