Odonata Assemblages in Urban Semi-Natural Wetlands. [PDF]
InsectsAs the human population in urban areas is continuously growing, urbanization is one of the greatest threats to biodiversity. To mitigate the negative effects, the inclusion of blue zones (aquatic habitats) in modern urban development practices is strongly recommended, as they could be beneficial for the local biodiversity conservation.

Natural regeneration of wetlands under climate change
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023 Wetlands are increasingly valuable under climate change in terms of their ecological functions, ecosystem services, and biodiversity. Simultaneously, wetlands are hotspots for anthropogenic activity due to their high soil fertility and water supply, and ...
