Abstract

Exploring biological indicators as tool for evaluation of ecological conditions is one of prime interest for planning process. The focus of this paper is biological indicator based on seed characteristics and defined with the use of fuzzy sets methodology. It is considered application of fuzzy biological indicators in combination with the minimum average weighted deviation method. Finally, Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System is utilized for categorization of biological indicators.
