Ecosystem Potentially at Risk
To identify ecological components that may be affected and
stressor-ecosystem interactions relevant to developing exposure
scenarios
Ecological components include aspects of
Abiotic environment such as climatic conditions and soil or
sediment properties
Ecosystem structure including the types and abundances of
different species and their trophic level relationships
Ecosystem function such as the ecosystem energy source,
pathways of energy utilization, and nutrient processingEcological Effects
Ecological effects data may come from a variety of
