Summary of implications on Biomass Index BI used for detecting microbially-colonized geophysical systems.

Case 1 Case 2 Case 3 Case 4
If S(Q|Ptest) = S(Q|Pref) S(Q|Ptest) < S(Q|Pref) S(Q|Ptest) > S(Q|Pref) S(Q|Ptest) = S(Q|Puni)
then BI(Q|Ptest) = 0 BI(Q|Ptest) > 0 BI(Q|Ptest) < 0 BI(Q|Ptest) = −1
then Biomass-free Biomass-free Biomass-affected Biomass-affected
