From the ES assessment it is concluded that this measure generates overall a positive expected impact for many ES, mainly for:
“biodiversity”
Cultural services: Aesthetic information
Some regulating services: Erosion and sedimentation regulation (by water bodies); Water quality regulation: reduction of excess loads coming from the catchment; Climate regulation: Carbon sequestration and burial; Regulation extreme events or disturbance: Flood water storage
The expected impact on the development targets (“Biodiversity”) is very positive.
The expected impact for the different beneficiary groups is overall very positive, with a very positive expected impact for indirect and future use and for local and region use.
The screening of the ecosystem services (ESS) that were effected by the measure `Spadenländer Spitze` showed the additional benefits that were achieved with the implementation of the realignment.
