The Cumulative Impacts analysis included the primary, measurable change agent variables that are likely to have the largest and most direct impact in the area in the future. However, in order to “sum” the impacts, thresholds for meaningful change had to be defined for each variable. Cumulative Impacts are not specific to any ecosystem constituent or process but are intended to be representative of the ecosystem as a whole, so thresholds for meaningful change are based on model variability and the potential to impact management decisions. This dataset does not assess the likely collinearity of the change agents, but rather considers each change agent as a separate stressor that will differentially impact resources in the area. The inverse of this dataset could be seen as a landscape vulnerability index (LVI) that could be used to assist in future resource planning efforts.
