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.

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 ...

High-frequency averaging in semi-classical Hartree-type equations [PDF]
, 2009 We investigate the asymptotic behavior of solutions to semi-classical Schroedinger equations with nonlinearities of Hartree type. For a weakly nonlinear scaling, we show the validity of an asymptotic superposition principle for slowly modulated highly ...

Innovating with Nature: From Nature-Based Solutions to Nature-Based Enterprises [PDF]
Sustainability, 2021 Nature-based solutions (NBS) to address societal challenges have been widely recognised and adopted by governments in climate change and biodiversity strategies. Nevertheless, significant barriers exist for the necessary large-scale implementation of NBS and market development is still in its infancy.
