Example: By crossing a flowing water body, a road project leads to considerable impairment of the habitat *91E0 ‘ash-alder woods along running waters’. The loss of the habitat is to be compensated at other sites which are suitable in location and function by measures to ensure coherence; this will be achieved through appropriate planting and restoration of the habitat type. Since other accompanying measures, such as the development of old growth forests in existing similar habitat types are not possible, it is planned to implement the measure on an area many times larger, in order to offset the time-lag in functionality. It is a question here of a habitat type characterised by trees and which has a correspondingly long development time which cannot be accomplished even with an advanced implementation of measures.
