WWT combined 'multi-benefit' wetland potential
收藏资源简介：
This dataset combines the WWT 'wetlands for water quality', 'wetlands for blue carbon', 'wetlands for flood resilience' and 'wetlands for urban wellbeing' layers, and indicates where these four layers overlap. The greater the number of overlapping wetland potential layers, the greater the potential to create wetlands that provide multiple key benefits to society. While most wetlands support a range of ecosystem services, these locations indicate where return on investment could be particularly high. This wetland potential map is not prescriptive at the site level and does not replace the need for detailed site selection processes, feasibility studies, and regulatory processes. The intention is to illustrate the overall potential and to direct users’ thoughts in a strategic way, rather than precisely telling them where to put wetlands, or specifying where action should or will necessarily take place. WWT are calling for the creation of 100,000 hectares of new and restored wetlands in the UK by 2050. This map is a part of WWT’s Roadmap to 100,000 hectares project, which aims to assess both the spatial and economic potential for large-scale wetland restoration targeted at tackling some of the key issues faced by UK society. The work has a particular focus on four themes where wetlands can provide solutions, namely (1) wetlands for carbon storage (specifically saltmarsh for blue carbon), (2) wetlands for urban wellbeing, (3) wetlands for flood resilience, and (4) wetlands for water quality. Wetland potential for water quality, carbon storage, flood resilience and urban wellbeing has been mapped. Full methodology can be found here.

本数据集整合了英国湿地与野生动物信托基金（WWT, Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust）提出的“水质改善型湿地”“蓝碳型湿地”“防洪韧性型湿地”以及“城市福祉型湿地”四类图层，并标注了上述四类图层的重叠区域。重叠湿地价值图层的数量越多，打造可向社会提供多重关键效益的湿地的潜力便越大。尽管多数湿地均可支撑一系列生态系统服务功能，但此类区域的投资回报率往往尤为可观。 本湿地潜力地图并非针对具体场地的规范性文件，亦无法替代详尽的场地选址流程、可行性研究与监管审批流程。其设计初衷是展现整体开发潜力，以战略视角引导使用者的思考方向，而非精准指定湿地的建设位置，亦未明确规定必须或应当开展湿地修复行动的区域。 WWT呼吁至2050年在英国新增并修复10万公顷湿地。本地图是WWT“十万公顷湿地路线图”项目的组成部分，该项目旨在评估面向解决英国社会核心问题的大规模湿地修复工程的空间与经济潜力。本研究重点关注湿地可提供解决方案的四大主题，具体包括：（1）碳储存型湿地（特指用于蓝碳封存的盐沼湿地）；（2）城市福祉型湿地；（3）防洪韧性型湿地；（4）水质改善型湿地。 水质提升、碳储存、防洪韧性及城市福祉四类湿地的开发潜力已完成空间制图。完整研究方法可查阅指定链接。 属性说明如下： COUNT_FC：重叠湿地价值图层的数量（最大值为4） Area_ha：湿地潜力地块的面积，单位为公顷（注：由于重叠图层的空间相交运算，部分地块边界可能为任意划定） Country：湿地潜力地块所属的英国行政区划单元
