International conservation and sustainability agendas (CBD, 2010, Union, 2011, IPBES, 2018, United Nations, 2018) have repeatedly called for conservation, restoration and sustainable use of biodiversity as well as the enhancement of ecosystem services and benefits to society. These calls are particularly relevant for freshwater ecosystems, which combine conservation interest and high societal value through the supply of multiple ecosystem services (Tharme, Tickner, Hughes, Conallin, & Zielinski, 2018). Freshwater habitats and biodiversity are also amongst the most threatened worldwide, due to a broad range of anthropogenic pressures (IPBES, 2018, Reid et al., 2019). In the European Union, 63% of river and lake habitats protected under the Habitats Directive (HD) are considereld to hold “Unfavourable” conservation status, and 60% of water bodies evaluated in the Water Framework Directive (WFD) are not in “Good” ecological status (IPBES, 2018).The WFD (2000/60/EC European Commission, 2000), the core water policy instrument at European level, does not mention ecosystem services explicitly, however, it does call for sustainable and integrated management of freshwaters that promotes ecosystem health and sustainable use of water resources, in articulation with other directives including the HD (European Commission, 2011). Recent reports and policy instruments have further highlighted this need, explicitly including the ecosystem services framework (European Commission, 2012) as a key approach to reconciling societal needs with conservation goals.
