1 Ecological scenarios for prospective risk assessment of aquatic ecosystems Sanne van den Berg, Andreas Focks, Hans Baveco, Antonio Franco, Frederik de Laender and Paul van den Brink
2 Status quo How to increase realism? Ecological scenarios Sensitive species Model ecosystem
3 Beware of surrealism
4 Research aim Develop realistic ecological scenarios for higher tier risk assessment of aquatic ecosystems which consider the most vulnerable species
5 Work-flow Toxic mode of action Toxicity Mode Specific Sensitivity Traits Phylogenetics Predictive models Community composition Predict sensitivity
