Evaluate anthropogenic environmental impacts

Quantify human environmental impacts and extinction risk

Forecasting extinction risk or habitat loss from proposed development when receptor sensitivity is quantifiable.

• · baseline ecosystem state
• · stressor magnitude/duration
• · receptor species/population
• · dose-response relationships

• · impact forecast
• · population viability analysis
• · IPAT/footprint metrics

Baseline environmental data and exposure pathways documented

Missing dose-response data; unidentified cumulative stressors; temporal lag between exposure and effect unaccounted for

• · Species-area relationship (S=cA^z) with z=0.15-0.35 empirically validated
• · Edge effects documented at 50-200m for temperate forests
• · MVP (minimum viable population) framework standardized in conservation biology
