Qualitative impact assessment of land management interventions on ecosystem services (“QEIA”). Report-3 theme-5A: biodiversity - cropland.
London, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), 102pp.
This project assessed the impacts of 741 potential land management actions, suitable for agricultural land in England, on the Farming & Countryside Programme’s Environmental Objectives (and therefore Environment Act targets and climate commitments) through 53 relevant environmental and cultural service indicators.
The project used a combination of expert opinion and rapid evidence reviews, which included 1000+ pages of evidence in 10 separate reports with reference to over 2400 published studies, and an Integrated Assessment comprising expert-derived qualitative impact scores.
The project has ensured that ELM schemes are evidence-based, offer good value for money, and contribute to SoS priorities for farming.
