Valued ecosystem components and ea: perspectives from a field-lackey . Indicators: missed this shit: measureable parameters, clearly defined aspects of an indicator that can be quantified and compared against baseline value or condition, each measureable parameter has an associated performance level or standard, selection process: Professio(cid:374)al judge(cid:373)e(cid:374)t of the project"s assess(cid:373)e(cid:374)t tea(cid:373) cumulative effects assessment consider vcs that have predicted residual environmental effects after mitigation measures. Variability in terminology: valued components aka valued ecosystem components. Hierarchy of valued ecosystem components the usual suspects: different environments: the usual suspects: (atmospheric environment) Climate change: the usual suspects (hydrogeology) Groundwater quantity: the usual suspects (fish and fish habitat) fish species. Habitat quantity: the usual suspects (vegetation) Habitat wetlands: the usual suspects (wildlife) Species indicators: collecting data information sources for vcs, literature, other eas, maps (air photos, soil maps, hydrological databases, government websites (fwmit, regional studies, inputs from public, aboriginal groups, government agencies, baseline studies into the field:
