However, there is no scientifically proven approach to sum up such heterogeneous indicators to generate a single sustainability score.
We conclude this section by discussing how we reconcile the patchwork of dates that we have uncovered using different economic indicators to generate a single chronology.
Furthermore, there is limited knowledge as to the potential of structural and functional indicators to generate complementary knowledge about ecological condition that can be used to inform watershed management.
We standardized all our risk factor indicators to generate dimensionless and comparable scores.
We aggregated the indicators to generate a composite, continuous index of data use.
Following procedures outlined in the InterVA user guide, 34 variables describing specific signs and symptoms were mapped to equivalent InterVA indicators to generate files to be processed through the Bayesian model.
The InterVA requires extraction of a defined set of indicators from the VA questionnaire, and then processes these indicators to generate a summary of as many as three possible CoD with their corresponding likelihood (2, 11).
We used the resulting indicators to generate plots showing total number of expected species with number of sites sampled, and compared the stability across the five strategies for the different richness estimators.
PEDIA was calculated by adding the pre-defined weightings for each indicator present to generate a score from zero to eight [ 15].
Finally, all collected indicators were gathered to generate a primary indicator pool which included 46 indicators (8 for exposure, 21 for sensitivity, and 17 for adaptive capacity).
