In principle, AFSA supports the development of an online tool to enable a simple assessment of the potential impacts of animal industries to determine permit requirements, acknowledging the complexity of information needed to make such an assessment (water supply catchments, significant native vegetation, soil type, rainfall, proximity to settlements...).

The researchers tested how future precipitation and temperature projections would interact with aspects of the land surface such as vegetation and soil type to affect groundwater recharge during two time intervals: 2021 - 2050 and 2071 - 2100.

By looking at variables such as day and night temperatures and seasonal rainfall and vegetation types, for instance, researchers can identify the ecological niches best suited to certain insects.

Such approaches generate projections of future vegetation structure, e.g., as the likely balance of plant functional types (PFTs) after permitting competitive interaction and accounting for wildfire (Woodward and Lomas, 2004b; Lucht et al., 2006; Prentice et al., 2007; but see Betts and Shugart, 2005, for a more complete discussion).
