Nature-Based Solutions and Circularity in Cities [PDF]

Circular Economy and Sustainability, 2021
AbstractCities worldwide are facing a number of serious challenges including population growth, resource depletion, climate change, and degradation of ecosystems. To cope with these challenges, the transformation of our cities into sustainable systems using a holistic approach is required. The pathway to this urban transition is adopting the concept of

Biodiversity outcomes of nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation: Characterising the evidence base

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Nature-based solutions (NbS) are increasingly recognised for their potential to address both the climate and biodiversity crises. Both these outcomes rely on the capacity of NbS to support and enhance the health of an ecosystem: its biodiversity, the ...

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 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 ...
