单词 isocline
释义

Definition of isocline in English:

isocline

noun ˈʌɪsə(ʊ)klʌɪnˈaɪsəˌklaɪn
  • A line on a diagram or map connecting points of equal gradient or inclination.

    Example sentencesExamples
    • When resources synergistically improve performance, combinations yielding equal benefits are represented by an isocline that is convex to the origin.
    • For example, one might assess whether the distance along a river or a topographic isocline is more biologically relevant than distance ‘as the crow flies.’
    • The null isoclines give the threshold of zero growth for each of the two species, and their intersection specifies the equilibrium point.
    • Because this would change the slope of the isocline, it could be an important mechanism promoting coexistence when habitat selection is constrained.
    • The isocline and full system analyses show similar patterns when there is variation in performance.

Derivatives

  • isoclinic

  • adjective

Origin

Late 19th century (denoting an isoclinal line or fold): from Greek isoklinēs 'equally balanced', from klinein 'to lean, slope'.
