The Biodiversity Intactness Index (BII) is the average abundance of originally present species across a broad range of species, relative to abundance in an undisturbed habitat. 2. What four pressure variables were investigated? (p. 290) a. The four pressure variables that this paper focused on were land use, land-use intensity, human population density, and proximity to the nearest road. 3. The “average local abundance of…

taking into account, not only average consumption but also distribution and environmental degradation. To date, it has been calculated for the United States.
