Fingerprint, ecological

Ecology. The environmental impact is described with reference to six categories, resulting in what is called the ecological fingerprint ... 

Ecology Due to the unique properties of NMP, the process has an excellent ecological fingerprint. 

Ecology Due to the excellent properties of NMP the process has a better ecological fingerprint than competing BD extraction technologies.

The quantitative weighting steps to obtain the ecological fingerprint and the portfolio are additional features.

Hybridization has retained oaks a model taxon for species concepts that rely on ecological criteria rather than on reproductive isolation [65]. The high similarity in chemical constitution of different oak pollens, which is verified by a very similar biochemical fingerprint in our Raman experiments, can be interpreted as part of the very weak barriers to being pollinated by another (oak) species. 

Py-FI mass spectrometric fingerprint can be developed as a fast, comprehensive, highly sensitive and reproducible analytical approach to discern any effects that GM crops may exert on soil ecological parameters (Melnitchouck et al., 2006). 

The mass-spectrometric fingerprint —that is, the abundance of up to 900 single properties in the form of m/z with specific intensities—was shown to be most sensitive to detect, prove, and visualize even minor differences between samples, by the use of appropriate statistical procedures. This is independent on the specific sample properties (dissolved/solid, fractionated/nonfraction-ated) and was shown to disclose agronomic (fertilizer, manure, or crop-specific impacts on SOM quality), and ecological (parent material-metabolite, consumer-food, plant-soil) interrelationships.
