Mainstreaming Ecological Restoration of freshwater-related ecosystems in a Landscape context: INnovation, upscaling and transformation

CORDIS provides links to public deliverables and publications of HORIZON projects.

Links to deliverables and publications from FP7 projects, as well as links to some specific result types such as dataset and software, are dynamically retrieved from OpenAIRE .

Deliverables

New framework for monitoring systemic impacts of freshwater and wetland restoration actions (opens in new window)

The report will summarise the monitoring framework to be applied in the 17 case studies It will include guidance on the indicators evaluating impact on Green Deal Goals and will be enriched by a systematic review of systems used in the case studies
