What?
Why?
| Project Objective: | This project aims to promote learning and enhance scientific understanding on i) impacts of interacting stressors on water quality and multiple dimensions of freshwater biodiversity, ii) critical social-ecological feedbacks that determine the use and co-production of freshwater ecosystems. |
| Call Objective: | The Call addresses two major (non-exclusive) priorities: - Development and application of scenarios of biodiversity and ecosystem services across spatial scales of relevance to multiple types of decisions; - Consideration of multiple dimensions of biodiversity and ecosystem services in biodiversity scenarios. |
