How to Use This Calculator
  1. Rate Food Availability, Water Availability, Cover Quality, and Disturbance Level on a 0-1 scale.
  2. Review the Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) — the geometric mean of the four factors.
  3. Check the Habitat Classification (optimal, suitable, marginal, unsuitable).
  4. Note the Limiting Factor and its score — improvement efforts should target this factor first.
  5. Apply the Carrying Capacity Multiplier to baseline species density estimates for the site.
