Measure Spadenlander Busch

Impact on ecosystem services

and quality change, i.e. situation before versus after measure implementation.


From the ES assessment it is concluded that this measure generates overall a positive expected impact for many ES, mainly for:
  • "biodiversity”
  • Cultural services: Inspiration for culture, art and design; and Information for cognitive development
  • Regulating service: Erosion and sedimentation regulation (by water bodies
  • The expected impact for the first development target “Water quantity regulation: dissipation of tidal and river energy” is slightly positive, and for the second target “Water for navigation”) neutral.
  • The expected impact for the different beneficiary groups is overall positive, with a positive to very positive expected impact for indirect and future use and for local and region use.




A first screening of the ecosystem services that were affected by the measure Spadenlander Busch showed that there were a lot of additional (not targeted) ESS that were positively influenced. The effect on the targeted ecosystem services “Dissipation of tidal energy” and “Water for navigation” could not be pointed out in this first screening.
