Forum issues addressed by case study

How can I know if land management will be effective?

What is the effect of different land management interventions on water quality?
Will what I’m doing provide secondary or wider benefits in the catchment for carbon, biodiversity or other ecosystem functions?

Does it matter what data and models I use in planning /assessing catchment management? Can the answers they provide be transferred to other catchments?

How different are the answers from different models?

Where is the pollution coming from? And how do pollutants act together?

Are there different sources of the same pollutants?
Would I make a different decision if I looked at one or several pollutants?

What did we find?

This case study examines potential trade-offs and co-benefits for a suite of ecosystem services at the farm to catchment scale that may be potential ‘by-products’ of an agri-environment scheme designed to reduce total multi-pollutant loads entering watercourses.
