Indirect Causation

Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-014097

1. The induction of effects through a series of cause-effect relationships, such that the impaired biological resource may not even be exposed to the initial cause. For example, the direct effect of an herbicide may be reduced algal production, which may indirectly lead to reduced herbivore and predator populations. Compare to direct causation.
