5 biogeochemical functions
3 hydrological functions
1 day available per assessment 2 habitat functions
No-net-loss of functions ? * restore, rehabilitate or create similar wetlands than those impaired ** offset measures are close to the impaired wetland
Step 1 - Is the mitigation scheme an in-kind and on-site scheme ? The method provides a framework to analyse each site Climate, geology and topography
Upland anthropic pressures
Surrounding ecological conditions
Geomorphological and hydrological setting
Plant and animal communities
--> site’s location in surface waterbody
--> land use in site’s contributory area
--> habitats in site’s landscape
--> site’s hydrogeomorphologic system
--> site‘s habitats
If characteristics of both sites are similar :
in-kind and on-site mitigation scheme --> step 2
Step 2 - Is there a no-net-loss of function after the implementation of the mitigation scheme ? The method provides a set of indicators to assess the performance of 10 functions it y ctiv n ne t co itat bita hab f Ha o t ion por rat est Sup l. equ simi Cs . as . re c oph dp rth n l. i nt o t. a p r Pla si m s a dso tN Pa n ion t a Pla ific nitr tion De liza i tab rge nt s c ha im e n r re Sed wate uctio re d und -off Gro Run Vegetation cover 4 indicators Drainage system 5 indicators
