How the EDT Model Uses Life History An Overview
EDT – Habitat Model Results = Species Habitat Potential Species-Life Stage View of Environment Species-Neutral Environment Raw Data and Observations
The Beverton-Holt Function Habitat (Density Independent) Productivity Habitat Capacity Recruits (returning adults/spawner) Recruits/Spawner (Density Dependent Productivity) EquilibriumAbundance Spawners(number in first generation)
Aggregate Life Stage P = Population P SPAWNING ADULTS SUBADULTS SMOLTS JUVENILES EGGS
The EDT Cornerstones Model Habitat Environment Trajectory Generator Trajectory Generator Habitat Potential • VSP-Relevant Parameters • Habitat Capacity • LS/Pop. Productivity • Equilibrium Abundance • Diversity • Survival (limiting) factors Life History Information Used Here Need to Think Broadly About Historical Potential!! Species/Habitat Rules
EDT Compares Scenarios • Reference scenario maximum potential • Difference restoration potential • Model for potential life history expression Template Patient Current or Future Condition (Degraded) Reference Condition (Ideal)
Trajectories Travel Through a Survival Landscape • Trajectories = range of life history expression • Survival (limiting) factor effect on LS productivity • Different pathways have different survival rates • Combined success rate = habitat productivity • % successful = diversity index
In Closing… • Life history information used to parameterize EDT trajectory generator • Emphasize both existing AND potential life history diversity • Don’t be too literal! Need to represent potential diversity (not just what exists today) • EDT selects successful trajectories
