The primer provides a comprehensive overview of the concepts defining quantum and classical mechanics of the ecosphere, including several proof of concept models.
The treatise on quantum microbiogeography was applied to derive a highly efficacious and quantitative ecometric defined as the Priority Site Determination (PSD). The PSD maximizes quantification of vegetative communities and individual species, while identifying a subset of study sites required for quantification, thereby reducing sampling effort.
The Vegetative Complex Health Index (VCHI) was derived from the quantum and classical mechanical relationships revealed in the relationships between vegetative communities and biodiversity. The VCHI is a quantitative, objective and sensitive composite index by which to assess the health and recovery of riparian ecosystems.
