Process indicators PAS: Report 2016.
Abstract
The ecological underpinning of the Dutch nitrogen control programme (PAS) is outlined. The process of nature restauration is also followed in the short term to assess the efficacy of management measures. The PAS-process indicators are used to indicate the restauration process. They vary per habitat type and management measure, as well as per area. Its parameters include aerial photos, abiotic measurements, vegetation height and species diversity. Thirteen habitat type and management measures are compared.
