Structure Rating

The following Questions are designed to get a general impression while the user is in the field of how functional the structure is for each of the species movement guilds. The following answers are rated
A=This animal could make it through as is, or with small modifications
C=with modest modifications this structure could be functional
F=Can’t be fixed with a retrofit

Rate structure for Low Mobility Small Fauna, e.g., slow movinganimals that require a consistent environmental conditions, such as frogs or salamanders:
