Common use of Intensity Clause in Contracts

Intensity. the strength of the stressor itself to harm the species. The following are used to describe intensity: "Low” - minor reductions in range or vital rages [survival and reproductive capacity]; "Moderate” - reductions in range or vital rates; or "High” - severe reductions in vital rates. Population Exposure – how much of a PYTH population is exposed to a stressor in space and time. The following are used to describe exposure: "Insignificant” - level of exposure negligible; "Small” - <10% of population exposed; "Moderate” - 11-30% of population exposed; "Significant” - 31-60% of population exposed; and "Very Significant” - >60% of population exposed. Species Response - the change in the species' reproductive capacity or survival due to being exposed to a stressor. The following are used to describe response: "Basic Need Inhibited” - capacity to meet basic needs of feed/breed/shelter altered, possibly reducing growth or vital rates; "Confirmed” mortality or identifiable reduction in individual growth or vital rates; or "Significant” mortality or reduction in individual growth or vital rates. Overall Threat Level - the integration of the scope, immediacy, and intensity of the stressor with the exposure and response of the species measured at the population or species level. The following are used to describe the overall threat level: “Low” - no action needed at this time; "Moderate” - action is needed; "High” - immediate action is needed; or "Severe” - immediate action is essential for survival of population.
