Ecosystem Interactions on the Somerset Levels

Report contains data that can be used under Open Government Licence.

Following publication of the UK National Ecosystem Assessment in June 2011, and Defra’s promotion of taking an ecosystems approach to managing natural capital, Defra identified a need for projects to examine, in real-world situations, how discrete areas provide the wide range of ecosystem services that are valued by society; how the different natural benefits can be delivered in ways that complement and add value to one another; and how systems of governance and policy delivery can best support these multiple benefits. This project is one of a suite of projects that were commissioned to fill this evidence need.

本报告包含可在开放政府许可下使用的数据。自2011年6月发布英国国家生态系统评估报告以来，及英国环境、食品及农村事务部（Defra）推广采用生态系统方法管理自然资本以来，Defra认识到有必要在现实世界情境下对离散区域如何提供社会所珍视的广泛生态系统服务进行考察；如何以相互补充并增值的方式交付不同的自然利益；以及治理体系和政策执行如何最好地支持这些多重效益。本项研究即为一系列旨在填补此证据需求的委托项目之一。
