Sensitivity Mapping Baltic Sea: Evaluation Model
|
 |
|
The evaluation model, specifically developed to assess the
sensitivities, processed the collected and prepared basic data
and converted these data into four different categories of
sensitivity that range from slightly sensitive, to moderately
sesitive, to highly sensitive, and to extremely sensitive. |
|
The evaluation model computed the respective sensitivities on
the basis of the occurrence of selected species of benthic
invertebrates, macroalgae, birds and protected fish spawning
grounds. |
 |
The individual results were weighted and compiled into one
overall result.
To ensure the plausibility of the results, two periods of
evaluation were distinguished - Autumn/Winter and Spring/Summer. |
