• Work Package 5 – Synthesis
The objective of WP5 is to synthesize the findings from all work packages, so that interdisciplinary knowledge can be generated and a transformation of agricultural landscape systems can be stimulated. Based on the results of the WP, an (a) analysis of the direct and indirect factors influencing biodiversity will be carried out. The subsequent processing is to be carried out in a form that shows the governance structures suitable for the establishment of landscape-related AEM as well as economic and ecological effects. A joint final publication is planned (e.g. special issue in a scientific journal). In addition, a (b) spatially explicit decision support tool is to be developed which integrates the results from all WPs and informs regional actors about the planning and establishment of AEMs at landscape level. This concerns e.g. the promotion of target species or the establishment of further round tables or similar local bridge organizations in which nature conservation, agriculture and politics cooperate to promote nature-compatible regional development.
The cooperative partners University of Göttingen, University of Rostock and Landvolk Northeim-Osterode are responsible for WP 5.
