Ecosystem Interactions Data for Land Management and Water Quality Policy

A report from the UK Government Digital Service containing data for decision-making on ecological system interactions. The project focuses on interactions between land management and water quality, building on the Loweswater catchment study and work with stakeholders like Natural England and the Environment Agency. It also explores the delivery of cultural services and synergies with programs like BESS and VNN.

Use Cases

• Analyzing institutional frameworks and their impact on policy delivery, as referenced in the Loweswater stakeholder work.
• Identifying synergies for integrated service delivery across ecosystem and catchment studies, as mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Data is intended for real-world decision-making, as stated in the project's goal.
• Builds on established research, including the CS Integrated Assessment and RELU study at Loweswater.
• Considers multiple ecosystem services, including cultural services, as referenced in the description.
