Effects of sediment upon benthic macroinvertebrates in forested northern Appalachian streams
… The experiments tested benthic macroinvertebrate metric sensitivity to a range of fine sediment treatments. The second part involved four seasonal surveys of seven streams to determine the threshold amount of fine sediment.;The fine sediment experiments revealed EPT taxa richness and % climber to …

The use and application of performance metrics with regional climate models
… model (RCM) historical skill using performance metrics and to provide guidance to relevant groups as to how best utilise these metrics. Performance metrics are quantitative, scalar measures of the numerical distance, or ’error’, between historical model simulations and observations. Model …

Determining vegetation metric robustness to environmental and methodological variables, and coefficients of conservatism for the flora of the Middle Rio Grande, New Mexico
Common vegetation metrics used in monitoring of ecological restorations include measures of vegetation structure and measures of species diversity and composition. Metrics of species diversity and composition are often used as proxies for overall biological diversity of a site, but some metrics may …

Sampling-Based Motion Planning With Differential Constraints
… Finally, a heuristic is designed to solve metric sensitivity of RRT-based planners, which means that RRT-based methods have difficulties in escaping local minima when the given metric provides a poor approximation of the cost-to-go. Instead of designing a metric, the heuristic is obtained …

Phylogenetic and Morphological Community Structure of North American Desert Bats
… reduces overlap in resource use. I examined the sensitivity of phylogenetic community structure (PCS) metrics to changes in phylogeny and community delimitation method, investigated patterns of PCS and correlation to environmental variables at multiple spatial and taxonomic scales, and assessed …
