Conceptual models significantly help formulation of the ecological
risk assessment in a variety of ways. They:
- Describe the system that is the subject of the risk assessment.
- Provide a meaningful framework for organizing the available
information.
- Clearly delineate what is known and not known about the stressor-ecosystem
relationship.
- Provide a framework for using data when, during analysis, you
evaluate the functional relationships predicted in the model.
