Biodiversity Baseline Calculation

the "calculate biodiveristy units" design rule is used here biodiversity impact is a core consideration of infrastructure projects in optioneer, you can perform biodiversity baseline analysis in optioneer if you want to report in a consistent, automated manner on biodiversity with this feature, biodiversity metrics are like any other option metrics and are considered from the very start how it works the design rule takes the following inputs layers (constraints + environmental) and their corresponding distinctiveness multiplier width of the biodiversity impact buffer (just one value) the design rule will perform the following calculation for each supplied buffer, find the area of intersection with each layer (in hectares, i e 10,000m2 multiply that area with the multiplier for the layer export the results as option metrics, for each layer name per point quantities (at every point along route), similar to penalties or costs
