Mapping Land Use Requirements for Biodiversity

Long-term support for projected Land Use policy in England, by determining biodiversity impact of land use change and identifying scenarios which maximise the likelihood of hitting legally binding net zero and biodiversity targets.

RDE 415 - WTP for Storm Overflows' rainfall target

Defra wishes to commission independent experts, eftec, through an established framework with CEH, to provide up to date benefits values for the IA, specific to the target, and one alternative target (zero spills each, on average, by 2050). Key elements of the work • The Storm Overflow Evidence Project (Stantec, 2022) splits the benefits of reducing overflows into three main categories: river health, human health, and social value - the last of which captures "general satisfaction" and non-use values. All three categories are relevant, and the evidence supporting each could be improved with specific primary research. • At minimum Defra needs an update of the social value of reducing SO spills in England. We are content with advice from the consultants that it is more valid in this exercise to obtain a value for all 3 categories together. While that will mean that the individual impacts cannot be valued independently, it avoids potential double counting of impacts, issues of substitution between improvements, and income effects that might be present if the aspects were valued separately. • Minimum demographics should be included to ensure we have a representative sample of the England population e.g. gender, age, socio-economic group, and to enable analysis by water and sewerage company (WASC) area. • This survey will draw on the pilot question on SOs in the recent NWEBS phase 2 work, but more material will need to be developed to support the explanation of SO spills and impacts of reductions e.g. health and environmental consequences. • We accept the risk that the survey may produce unexpected results, for example due to emotive media coverage of the issue, and potential protest responses. This contract was awarded by DEFRA.

RDE 278 - Collating data to help assess the water quality implications of land

: Land use change could have multiple positive effects on water quality, both by removing sources of agricultural pollution and from the net benefits of new habitat, wetland or woodland creation. Although we have a reasonable understanding of the nutrient pollution from conventional agricultural systems (via models like FARMSCOPER), our understanding of the impacts of uptake of different types of agricultural production or of removing land from production to create new habitats and woodland is less well established. In order to meet our proposed targets on reducing pollution from agriculture (reducing the loads of N, P and sediment entering the water environment by 40% by 2038), we need both optimisation of current agricultural systems (through compliance with regulations, uptake of on-farm land management measures and technological improvements and innovation) and some targeted land use change. In order to better understand the co-benefits and trade-offs (e.g. balancing pollution to water with carbon sequestration and impacts on air quality) associated with different land use change scenarios, we need to be able to quantify the net change in pollutant loadings and other environmental pressures associated with the conversion of land to new uses. This work will address those gaps by bringing together data from a range of models and studies to help assess the impact of landscape scale LUC. This project was awarded by DEFRA.
