This step describes the effects a stressor might have on an organism
or function of concern. Combine the characterization of ecological
effects with the exposure characterization described in Lesson
3 to describe adverse effects that might occur in the ecosystem.
There are several methods of performing an
ecological response analysis, establishing
causality, and linking measures of
effect to assessment endpoints, all as part of characterizing ecological
effects. The methods used should be described in the stressor-response
profile.
