How to prepare sensitivity and threat table for 4 LULC classes?

Science, Research & Data

I have 4 LULC classes namely Lake, Commercial and Residential, Industrial and Forest. Commercial and Residential is combined in single class. I want to consider Lake as a Habitat and work around it for Habitat Quality Analysis. How do I consider Sensitivity and Threats for the same? Can someone please help me with this.

This is a great question. Even i am also working on the same topic but not able to understand this topic as it is not water resources. It will be a great help if someone from the community can help in guiding.

Thanks and Regards

Hi @Prathibha and @Abhi0710 -

The model calculations are agnostic to which LULC types you are focused on, they are based on the spatial and tabular data that you provide, which differentiates sensitivity and threats based on LULC classes. From this perspective, it’s fine to have Lake be the only (or main) habitat type, you provide sensitivity and threat information for the Lake habitat in the same way as you would if forest was your main habitat type instead.

If you’re looking for suggestions for specific threats or sensitivity values that others have used when focusing the model on water, I don’t have experience to share, but perhaps someone else has used the model in this way.
