Ecorisk Fundamentals

This section of the guidance provides an overview of the basic concepts of ecology and ecotoxicology, the technical areas that provide the basis for ecological risk assessments. The intent is not to train RPMs to become ecological risk assessors, ecologists, or ecotoxicologists, but rather to provide sufficient background on these topics to facilitate an understanding of terms and concepts that technical specialists (both contractors and regulators) may use when providing consultation on an ERA.
