Abstract
Integration of ecological, hydrological and economic information about wetland biodiversity is necessary for the development and eva1uation of alternative management strategies in which biodiversity is promoted and its benefits to society captured. The integration project within this proposal will: 1. specify a set of scenarios comprising economic, hydrological and ecological measures, where possible spatially disaggregated, for promoting wetland biodiversity and capturing associated values; 2. specificy and operationalize targets for biodiversity stimu1ation, based on current policy and goals pertaining to the sustainable use of biodiversity (Convention on Biologica1 Diversity), against which the scenarios will be measured; and 3. guide integration of the economic and ecological models and indicators, specifica1ly ensuring their compatible and consistent linkage.
