  The amount of docosahexaenoic acid relative to dry weight in an individual.

  

• dose of applied nanomaterial internalised by a specific cell population (or per single cell) - particle number / cell area

  Correlation of dose and response for nanomaterials toxicity assessment requires information on the amount of the applied dose of nanomaterial that has been internalised by a cell population (or per specific cell) and is dependent on a number of factors including the exposure time, the particle density (i.e., whether settling occurs and thus the distribution of particles in the medium is non-homogeneous affecting the local concentration at the cell surface) etc.

  

• dose of applied nanomaterial internalised by a specific cell population (or per single cell) -mass per cell area

  Correlation of dose and response for nanomaterials toxicity assessment requires information on the amount of the applied dose of nanomaterial that has been internalised by a cell population (or per specific cell) and is dependent on a number of factors including the exposure time, the particle density (i.e., whether settling occurs and thus the distribution of particles in the medium is non-homogeneous affecting the local concentration at the cell surface) etc.

  

• Dynamic shear viscosity of polystyrene PS042

  Dynamic shear viscosity of polystyrene PS042 under the testing conditions of DIN 51810-1.

  

• Electron density in the solar wind

  Density (particle per cm3) of electrons measured in the Solar Wind.

  

• Feral-free enclosure area

  The total area (in ha) of feral-free enclosures. See https://linked.data.gov.au/def/nrm/d936bfd5-d2f9-5107-bbf7-2bd18bbab42b

  

• Foliage projective cover in the lower canopy strata

  The proportion of the ground area covered by foliage (or photosynthetic tissue) held in a vertical plane. Foliage Projective Cover is usually expressed as the percentage of ground covered by foliage and can be separated according to vegetation strata.

  

• Foraminifera, planktic, size

  Size of planktic foraminifers in surface sediments, see https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.126730

  

• Mass concentration of isobutylene in chloroform

  Mass concentration of isobutylene in chloroform.

  

• Mass flux of carbon into soil from vegetation due to senescence

  In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics. "Vegetation" means any living plants e.g. trees, shrubs, grass. The specification of a physical process by the phrase "due_to_" process means that the quantity named is a single term in a sum of terms which together compose the general quantity named by omitting the phrase. The term "senescence" means loss of living biomass excluding plant death, e.g. leaf drop and other seasonal effects. The term refers to changes in the whole plant and is not confined only to leaf drop.

  

• Maximum trunk char height

  Trunk char height is a measure of the extent of fire height above ground which is measured from the base to the highest point of fire occurrence on the tree trunk. Maximum char height is measured at the community level using a 360° sweep at each sampling location.
