Abstract

Various models have been developed to predict the effects of various measures aimed at nature restoration. All have certain different advantages and imperfections. It is concluded that they never can provide blueprints of nature’s future. They may only support the making of decisions, if there is a clear insight into the user's demands and if the advantages of all models are used as creatively as possible. Mechanistic models in combination with information of expert-based and statistical models are considered most useful to predict the impact of measures focused on nature restoration. The need for a good mutual communication between users and modellers is emphasized.
