The qualitative mapping of environmental conditions onto the traits of competitively superior species. The set of values of Constraints 1, 2, and 3 for Environmental Condition A, map into species traits on the trade-off surface, indicated by the shaded plane. Human-caused environmental change moves environmental conditions from Region A to Region B, causing a corresponding shift in the traits of the competitively dominant species.
