Nature-based solutions as nodes of green-blue infrastructure networks: A cross-scale, co-creation approach [PDF]
Nature-Based Solutions, 2021 While nature-based solutions have become foundational to sustainable urban and landscape planning schemes at multiple landscape scales, there is a risk that previous progress in green-blue infrastructure planning will be reversed as cross-scale ...

High sedimentation rates lead to rapid vegetation recovery in tidal brackish wetland restoration
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 IntroductionTidal wetland restoration in the Bay of Fundy involves restoring tidal hydrology to sites with tidal restrictions. Most have focused on salt marsh sites close to the mouth of estuaries, but there are also many tidally restricted wetlands ...

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.

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.
