Table 3. Logic rule for calculating overall species’ climate exposure and biological sensitivity.

The scoring rubric is based on a logic model where a certain number of individual scores above a certain threshold are used to determine the overall climate exposure and overall biological sensitivity.

Overall Sensitivity or Exposure Score Numeric Score Logic Rule
Very High 4 3 of more attributes or factors mean ≥ 3.5
High 3 2 of more attributes or factors mean ≥ 3.0
Moderate 2 2 of more attributes or factors mean ≥ 2.5
Low 1 All other scores
