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 2 benchmarks together — the OptimalRange form drives the primary score, while 1 guard(s) constrain the result.
Contributing Benchmarks
Evidence & Context
A detection rate of 20-40 detections per 100 trap-nights, composed of a diverse assemblage of native ground fauna without overwhelming dominance by a single species, would be indicative of a high-functioning, healthy, and resilient temperate grassy woodland within a protected area context.
the number of unique detections (separated per 30 minutes) of a species in 100 camera-based survey days
Optimal range for camera trap detection rates indicating a healthy and resilient temperate grassy woodland.
The optimal condition is a balanced CTR reflecting a diverse faunal community with moderate grazing pressure, which maintains habitat heterogeneity.
