pms:acuteContactToxicity
EUPH identifier
[UID:0.0.CTCNT860]
Definition
Acute contact toxicity is the adverse effects (mortality) occurring within a maximum period of 96 h after a topical application of a single dose of a substance on 50% of the individuals exposed. Measured as Lethal Dose 50 (LD50), which is the dose that kills 50% of the exposied individuals after a single dose.

Bee-friendliness (BF) index developed by the B-GOOD project, that corresponds to the contribution of each plant species in terms of bee-friendliness within a particular BIOEUNIS habitat. The BF index was calculated as the multiplication of the BF Value by occurrence and by average cover, i.e. BF Index = BF Value x Occurrence x Average cover. The higher the BF index, the greater the contribution of a plant species in terms of bee-friendliness within the habitat.

Class
Definition
The amount of precipitation of any type (including the liquid equivalent of frozen hydrometeors); usually taken as that amount measured by means of a rain gauge (thus a small, varying amount of direct condensation is included). A more accurate term would be precipitation or precipitation amount. However, the broad use of "rainfall" is firmly established in meteorology, especially in hydrologic and climatological literature. Its best utilization would confine it to liquid precipitation, and so would provide a distinction between precipitation immediately accessible to soil and streams and that delayed in storage as snow or ice on the earth's surface.

Recommended best practice is to use string literals from the controlled vocabulary designated for use with this term, listed at https://app.pollinatorhub.eu/vocabulary/classes/tree/3306 or to use accepted names of species from a biodiversity database (e.g. GBIF). This term has an equivalent in the pmsiri: namespace that allows only an IRI as a value, whereas this term allows for any string literal value.
