Description:
There is a need for knowledge about changes in vegetation resulting from changes in nutrient deposition levels, hydrology and management. These changes are specified as changes in ecological value , in terms of the occurrence of individual species and vegetation types. One aspect that requires further study is the way in which ecological value is characterised.
Research objectives:
The Nature Planner is a system of models that predicts changes in ecological values resulting from changes in nutrient deposition, hydrology and management. There is a need for a simple description of the behaviour of the Nature Planner system, for instance in the form of regression equations or rules-of-thumb for the relations between interventions and effects.
