Detailed
overall EVCC methods:
Materials:
- EVCC1
(sea level rise)
- EVCC2
(ecosystem geometry)
- EVCC3
(climatic space)
- EVCC4
(species sensitivity)
Steps:
- Due
to the reliability and pertinence of data and certainty in our
construction of each individual EVCC(1,2,3,4), the following table
expresses how we justified the weights given to the individual
EVCC values. If a number is italicized, it is the more important
factor in determining its domain's overall weight.

Therefore,
the scales have been applied according to these weights, and overall
EVCC equals EVCC1 + EVCC2
+ EVCC3 + EVCC4
