Camera Trap Detection Rate
Benchmark Value
Scoring Curve
This curve shows how a field measurement for this indicator would score across all available benchmark forms in this context. The scoring engine uses 3 benchmarks together — the OptimalRange form drives the primary score, while 2 guard(s) constrain the result.
Contributing Benchmarks
Evidence & Context
A total fauna CTR of > 15 Detections per 100 trap-nights is proposed as a potential indicator of ecological imbalance that warrants further investigation into species composition.
Camera Trap Detection Rate (CTR), expressed as detections per 100 trap-nights, representing the activity rate of native ground-dwelling fauna.
A Camera Trap Detection Rate above 15 detections per 100 trap-nights may indicate ecological imbalance in Temperate Grassy Woodlands under livestock grazing, often driven by invasive or hyper-abundant native species.
High CTR driven by invasive species or hyper-abundant native generalists is a strong indicator of ecological imbalance.
