Establishment (Scale) A type of spatial micro-scale that revolves around any location encompassing one specific activity, e.g., a power plant generates electricity.
Establishment scale is often called the “address” scale or “customer” scale of an
individual building, residence, or facility.
Exclusion The denial of economic, political and/or cultural resources as well as
spatial exclusion and segregation; may be experienced due to race, ethnicity,
identity, economic and other factors.
Expert Determination Expert Determination is a contextually specific method of
de-identifying PII data to remove the risk of identification while maximizing the
utility of the data.
Extensive Metrics Metrics dependent on scale or level of consumption, e.g., a
larger power plant will consume more water for cooling than a smaller power
plant of the same design.
External Factors Factors outside the boundary of a system that influences the
system.
Externalities The impacts of a system on factors beyond those being studied.
Externality A typically negative effect arising from an activity such as the production or consumption of goods and services by one group which damages another
group without appropriate compensation being paid. For example, water pollution by an upstream industry damaging downstream water users.
Extreme Affordability A good or service that can be afforded by everyone, even
the radically poor in financial means.
Facilitation The use of a third-party neutral to help people have more productive
conversations. A facilitator can often be used to help run more effective meetings, for example.
Factor Input Valuation Methods Methods to estimate the value of ecosystem
services based upon their ability to substitute for an input that is valued in an
existing market, for when the ecosystem service contributes to a measurable
marketed output.
Fahrenheit (F) An imperial temperature scale where 32 °F is the freezing point
of water and 212 °F is the boiling point of water at sea level and standard atmospheric pressure.
FAIR Principles (Data Management) Principles that emphasize findability,
accessibility, interoperability, and reuse.
Fallacy of Composition The observed fact that the consequences of action by a
whole industry are different from the results if just an individual implements that
action. For example, the adoption of a new technology may be profitable for an
individual company within an industry, whereas the adoption of the technology
by the whole industry drives down prices and lowers industry profits.
FASOMGHG FASOMGHG is a dynamic, multi-period, intertemporal, priceendogenous, mathematical programming model depicting land transfers and
other resource allocations between and within the agricultural and forest sectors
in the USA.
