isoline

Major climate-related species distributions at the large scale include the limit of trees, which is associated with the isoline for mean July air temperatures of about 10 °C [3] (as discussed in [4]) and soil temperature of 7 °C [5], and the limit of woody plants such as dwarf shrubs that are one indicator of the boundary of the polar desert biome [6].

A contour line is an isoline that connects points on a map that have the same elevation.

A rigorous, independent study conducted in the U.S. under controlled conditions demonstrated that Bt maize yields anywhere from 12% less to the same as near-isoline (highly similar) conventional varieties (Ma & Subedi, 2005).

The axiom says that along any isoline the marginal rate of substitution increases in favor of the commodity that is decreased.

Naturally, utility increases as we move from an isoline to a “higher” one, from C2 to C3, for example.

The pure geometry of Edgeworth's diagram led Fisher to note that in order to determine the optimal budget distribution we do not need to know how many utils each isoline represents: the knowledge of the isolines as such suffices.

The budget distribution that maximizes John's total utility is the point M at which one isoline is tangent to this budget line.

For Northern Europe, both effects roughly cancel (see the zero isoline separating the dark blue and light blue colors).

In accordance to our laboratory studies, Bambawale et al. [35] observed no difference in cotton aphid abundance between Indian fields with Bt cotton (MECH 162) and its corresponding near isoline under integrated pest management.
