The Effect of Pollen on Coral Health

Biology, 2023
Corals are facing a range of threats, including rises in sea surface temperature and ocean acidification. Some now argue that keeping corals ex situ (in aquaria), may be not only important but necessary to prevent local extinction, for example in the ...

Global urban reforestation can be an important natural climate solution

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
The climate mitigation potential of urban nature-based solutions (NBSs) is often perceived as insignificant and thus overlooked, as cities primarily pursue NBSs for local ecosystem services.

Diverse Environmental Microbiota as a Tool to Augment Biodiversity in Urban Landscaping Materials

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Human activities typically lead to simplified urban diversity, which in turn reduces microbial exposure and increases the risk to urban dwellers from non-communicable diseases.

Previous Shoreline Dynamics Determine Future Susceptibility to Cyclone Impact in the Sundarban Mangrove Forest

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Extreme weather events are a cause of mangrove forest loss and degradation globally. Almost half of the world’s mangroves are found in the tropical cyclone belt, and forests often experience disturbance in structure, functioning and ecosystem service ...

Principles for urban nature-based solutions [PDF]

Ambio, 2022
AbstractNature-based solutions (NBS) were introduced as integrated, multifunctional and multi-beneficial solutions to a wide array of socio-ecological challenges. Although principles for a common understanding and implementation of NBS were already developed on a landscape scale, specific principles are needed with regard to an application in urban ...
