Ecological disturbance index

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

This data represents a dimensionless ecological disturbance index, as the ratio of ecological succession and disturbance recurrence interval times the fraction of the area disturbed in any event. Small values of the ecological disturbance index represent decreasing proportions of time when disturbed/recovering habitats are present.
