What is Nutrient Neutrality and why does it matter? | WYG Webinar

What is nutrient neutrality and why does it matter? Our latest webinar, featuring WYG ecologist David West, addresses this issue. Nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients are important for plant growth, but where excessive nutrients level exist, there's the dangerous potential for undesirable conditions in aquatic habitats, including eutrophication and resulting oxygen depletion in water bodies.

Local authorities have grappled with resolving mitigation challenges like increased costs and time delays in different ways, but what's the best way?

The problem is unlikely to go away, but our experts have been advising clients on this issue on a case-by-case basis, adopting a multidisciplinary approach at sites to help developers achieve bespoke nutrient mitigation. We screen individual sites or land portfolios to identify constraints, but also benefits and opportunities.
