Biodiversity UK: National Ecosystem Assessment

Body: 

Strongly recommend having a look at the draft synthesis for the National Ecosystem Assessment, released yesterday, being led from WCMC for Defra..../ /...The emphasis is very much on ecosystem services, but takes a more detailed and developed approach than the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment for the national scale.  Interesting views on trends and status, but also assessment of gaps and needs for development in understanding ecosystem services.  What will also be interesting is how this might now contribute to the research direction of Defra and also of NERC/ESRC. I understand that the final report will be launched early 2011.

Organizations:
