Table 4.3 Overall Impact Evaluation of Grassland/Shrubland Mosaic and Other habitats
Evaluation
Criteria |
Discussion |
Habitat quality |
The habitat quality of grassland/shrubland mosaic
is low. |
Species |
There will be no potential direct impact to the
wildlife inhabiting the areas, although indirect impacts may occur |
Size/Abundance |
Grassland/shrubland cover approximately 90% of
Lung Kwu Chau |
Duration |
The duration of impact will persist during
construction and operation phase. |
Reversibility |
The impact of direct loss of grassland/shrubland
mosaic is irreversible. |
Magnitude |
The scale of habitat loss is small in the context
of the surrounding similar habitats. |
Overall impact conclusion |
Low |
