Eine Aushagerung ließ sich bei den untersuchten Acker- und Grünlandbrachen innerhalb der bislang kurzen Stillegungsdauer nicht feststellen. Vielmehr wurden die Nährstoffverhältnisse auf den Brachflächen durch die Vomutzung und die Düngeeinträge aus benachbarten Agrarflächen stark beeinflußt. Eine Korrelation von Vegetationsentwicklung und Nährstoffverhältnissen lag nur bedingt vor. Das Ziel einer Aushagerung der Flächen kann langfristig nur durch einen konsequenten Entzug der jährlich aufwachsenden Biomasse erreicht werden.

However, other stakeholders with an interest in environmental and accounting policy, such as business firms and environmental NGOs, may also find it valuable. For the purposes of this study, EMA is broadly defined to be the identification, collection, estimation, analysis, internal reporting, and use of physical flow information (i.e., materials, water, and energy flows), environmental cost information, and other monetary information for both conventional and environmental decision-making within an organization. This definition of EMA is similar to the definition of conventional management accounting, but has several key differences: ♦ EMA places particular emphasis on accounting for environmental costs. ♦ EMA encompasses not only environmental and other cost information, but also information on physical flows and fates of materials, water, and energy. ♦ EMA information can be used for any type of management activity or decisionmaking within an organization, but is particularly useful for activities and decisions with significant environmental components and/or consequences. Thus EMA incorporates and integrates two of the three building blocks of sustainable development-environment and economics-as they relate to an organization's internal decision-making. An organization's decision-makers can use the physical flow information and monetary information provided by EMA to make decisions that impact both the environmental and financial performance of the organization. It is important to note that, while EMA supports internal decision-making, the implementation of EMA does not guarantee any particular level of financial or environmental performance. However, for organizations that do have the goals of minimising costs in general, environmental costs in particular, or environmental impacts, EMA clearly provides a critical set of information. Chapter 2. Government-supported policies and programmes that promote EMA concepts One of the goals of this volume was to select and collect information for a set of case studies of current government policies/programmes that promote EMA concepts. There are numerous interesting and informative examples of government-supported EMA around the world; unfortunately, we did not have the time or resources to develop case studies on all countries. Thus, we selected an illustrative set of case studies, to show the richness and diversity of government efforts in this area, and to inform policy design for future activities. Table 2.
