abstract：:Historically, the biodiversity and composition of species in a locality was thought to be influenced primarily by deterministic factors. In such cases, species' niches create differential responses to environmental conditions and interspecific interactions, which combine to determine that locality's biodiversity and s...

In this method, a variable access impedance permits "tuning" of the observed relaxations for optimal measurements.
