单词 abundance
释义
abundance

Physics
  • 1. The ratio of the total mass of a specified element in the earth’s crust to the total mass of the earth’s crust, often expressed as a percentage. For example, the abundance of aluminium in the earth’s crust is about 8%.

    2. The ratio of the number of atoms of a particular isotope of an element to the total number of atoms of all the isotopes present, often expressed as a percentage. For example, the abundance of uranium–235 in natural uranium is 0.71%. This is the natural abundance, i.e. the abundance as found in nature before any enrichment has taken place.


Astronomy
  • See Elements, Abundance of.

Geography
  • The total number of individuals of a certain species present in an area, generally estimated by sampling methods (such as capture–recapture), and which may vary according to competition, predation, and resources.

    An index of abundance is a relative measure of the size of a population or sub-unit of the population, such as a year class. The abundance, for example, of fish may be measured as number/weight of fish caught per standard unit of fishing effort, in a given area, and for a given time span, and then compared to earlier data. See Goel et al. (2012) CIMSiM, for models of species abundance in biogeography.
