Deliverable D2b presents:

Kazakova-Mateva, Y. (2017)

The paper assesses the effects of the support provided to areas with natural constraints in the framework of the measure under the Rural Development Programmes in Bulgaria since 2007.

Peneva, M. (2017)

The paper presents and assesses the causal connections between ecosystem services provided by agricultural production and their contribution to the territorial competitiveness.

The Data Management Plan (DMP) of BIOGEA project describes how data is handled. There are various data types in the project and the BIOGEA DMP includes description of the data to be collected/created; methodologies for data collection and management; plans for data sharing and access; strategy for long-term data management; ethics and other considerations. 

The communication, dissemination and exploitation (outreach) plan describes the process of engaging with stakeholders throughout the project and disseminating the project results to the identified end users directly and by means of identified multipliers (such as specialised press and websites). It contains detailed information about the management, goals and objectives, selection of audience with the appropriate message and medium. It will be updated on a regular basis throughout the project.

This document presents a common framework for BIOGEA, to assess and evaluate the impacts of changes to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) on Green and Blue Infrastructure (GBI) in the agricultural landscape and how the presence, quality and management of GBI influences biodiversity and the provision of ecosystem services (ES). The BIOGEA Assessment Framework can be regarded as a living document which will be refined and developed as the project ideas are tested through the case studies and following feedback from PRDN.
