Valuing the impacts of ecosystem service interactions for policy effectiveness

This project was conducted as part of the Valuing Nature Network funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). It brought together a team of soil scientists, ecologists, modellers and economists. The aim was to develop an understanding of how ecosystem processes and services interact to produce benefits to people, in an agricultural system.

The project team studied this at two scales:

• at a catchment scale using data from Loweswater in the Lake District
• at a landscape scale.
