Information

Ecological parameter:  sensitive species

Parameter group: ecoregion related parameters

Explanation:
This parameter indicates, if a species is categorised as sensitive species and the ecoregion(s) in which it is considered to be sensitive. Sensitive species are species that tolerate environmental parameters only within very narrow limits (stenotopic, stenoecious). They therefore only colonise specific habitats and react intolerant against disturbances of their habitat.
