The areas where such target setting based on the ECA appears most straightforward at this stage are water over extraction and carbon storage (in the context of ecosystems such as peat-lands]. However, ECA does not aim to assess biodiversity loss and threshold, as this needs to be done through ecology indicators and analysis the biodiversity loss and thresholds. The ECA should also allow monitoring the flows of specific ecosystem services via its carbon and water accounts. Time series can capture carbon sequestration. In some cases low carbon storage values will indicate degradation.
