Environmental variables Sample Clauses

Environmental variables range of the variable values in each dataset and spatial scale of the measurements. The variables are grouped into 3 groups. LOI550=percentage of loss on ignition of sediments at 550 C. ILBS= index of lake basin shape (calculated as maximum depth divided by the square root of lake area). Variable group Environmental variable Spatial scale 12L dataset Profundal Sublittoral 45L dataset Italy Germany Austria eutrophication LOI550 (%) sample 5.23 - 32.47 1.24 - 63.93 1.52- 46.34 1.38- 92.18 2.23- 41.64 Sum of pressures site - 0 - 5.5 0-6.5 0-4.5 0-5 Naturalness of riparian zone site - 0.04 – 0.92 0.042- 0.96 0.042- 0.87 0.042- 0.96 Urban land cover (%) within 200 m from the lake 0 - 42.7 0-97.84 0-72.94 0-80.44 Natural land cover (%) within 200 m from the lake 7.6 - 72.2 0-97.06 0-80.22 0-85 morphology and geology ILBS lake 2.39 - 48 5.7-79.42 7.95- 41.92 9.47- 54.77 Mid-lake alkalinity (meq/l) lake 0.89 - 2.72 1.13-4.62 3.07- 5.33 1.99- 4.27 The eutrophication-related variables were: percentage of loss on ignition at 550 °C of sediments (%LOI550), and mid-lake total phosphorus (mid-lake TP). The morphological- pressure-related variables were 3 indices obtained through a lake habitat survey (LHS; Xxxxx et al., 2004, 2006) and 2 land use variables (urban and natural land use) within 200 m from the lake, gathered through GIS data. The LHS variables include: diversity of macrophyte growth form types, that records the occurrence of up to ten macrophyte groups; the sum of pressures, that records the presence of 18 potential pressures affecting the riparian zone and the shoreline within a 50 m radius of each site; and the degree of naturalness of the riparian zone, which takes into account riparian vegetation complexity, vegetation longevity and naturalness of land cover (see Free et al. (2009) for more details on the environmental variables). Those LHS indices were based on observation of the riparian/littoral zone and the shoreline close to the sites, therefore they have been calculated only for sublittoral sites since profundal sites could not be matched to any riparian stretch. Morphology and geology are represented by mid-lake alkalinity and by the index of lake basin shape (ILBS), calculated as maximum depth divided by the square root of lake area (Free, 2009). For each dataset three environmental matrixes have been built, one for each variable group. The environmental matrixes were composed by columns corresponding to the variables and raws corresponding to t...

Environmental variables. Environmental variables are mainly used to describe the general state of the mu- nicipality’s environment. The used variables are based on the notion of environ- mental non-commodity outputs; this is achieved by using the list of NCO pro- posed by the SEAMLESS project (Xxxxxx N., et al., 2009) extended with outputs related to the forestry sector. The list of environmental indicators includes:

Related to Environmental variables

  • Environmental Safety Upon encountering any previously unknown potentially hazardous material, or other materials potentially contaminated by hazardous material, Contractor shall immediately stop work activities impacted by the discovery, secure the affected area, and notify the ODR immediately.

  • Environmental Issues Neither Seller nor any agent or representative of Seller has made any representations as to any environmental, health or safety conditions that which exists or may arise at the Property. Purchaser assumes responsibility for any and all clean-up costs, and will indemnify Seller, and hold Seller harmless, with respect to the same.

  • Environmental Conditions A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II environmental site assessment) and, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Mortgage Loan within 12 months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared), and such ESA (i) did not identify the existence of Recognized Environmental Conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) at the related Mortgaged Property or the need for further investigation, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held or controlled by the related lender; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint or lead in drinking water, the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated, abated or contained in all material respects prior to the date hereof, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action, completion or closure letter or its equivalent, was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the Environmental Condition affecting the related Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed” or a reputable environmental consultant has concluded that no further action or investigation is required); (D) an environmental policy or a lender’s pollution legal liability insurance policy that covers liability for the Environmental Condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than “A-” (or the equivalent) by Xxxxx’x, S&P and/or Fitch; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for the Environmental Condition and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition at the related Mortgaged Property.
