This form is used for the policy intervention part of a model component. The infobox from the introduction page will be displayed here, with exception of the references. The page starts with a description of the baseline plus figure, followed by a table with policy interventions. The page ends with examples of policy interventions, text plus figures. The 'policy interventions' themselves must be entered separately via the Form:PolicyInterventionForm.
Description. Baseline and Policy intervention examples:
<div class="page_standard"> ==Baseline developments== The GLOBIO model for aquatic ecosystems simulates average biodiversity intactness ({{abbrTemplate|MSA}}) in freshwater biomes under different baseline assumptions (assuming no new policies). Considerable decline in MSA is projected for most regions, and will continue throughout the 2010–2050 period, particularly in Africa ([[PBL, 2010]]; [[PBL, 2012]]); see the figure below. The simulated declines are likely to be underestimated because the effects of wetland reclamation and future planned river dams and climate change have not yet been included in these projections. Algal bloom in lakes due to eutrophication with phosphorus and nitrogen will also increase. {{DisplayPolicyInterventionFigureTemplate|{{#titleparts: {{PAGENAME}}|1}}|Baseline figure}} ==Policy interventions== Decline in MSA value of future aquatic biodiversity can be prevented using a combination of options. These options include expansion of protected areas, reduction of agricultural area by means of consumption changes and reduced food losses, increase in agricultural productivity, and improved efficiency of nutrient use while reducing emissions. IMAGE calculations show this combination of options may even induce some recovery of biodiversity already lost in selected locations: increasing MSA), see the figure above). This may be counteracted by the effects of climate change ([[Mooij et al., 2005]]; [[Jeppesen et al., 2009]]). With respect to agricultural intensification, there may be a trade-off between increased biodiversity loss on local scale and decreased loss on catchment scale. {{DisplayPolicyInterventionFigureTemplate|{{#titleparts: {{PAGENAME}}|1}}|Policy intervention figure}} {{PIEffectOnComponentTemplate }} </div>
