Assessing nature-based solutions for transformative change

Palomo, I.; Locatelli, B.; Otero, I.; Colloff, M.; Crouzat, E.; Cuni-Sanchez, A.; Gómez-Baggethun, E.; González-García, A.; Grêt-Regamey, A.; Jiménez-Aceituno, A.; Martín-López, B.; Pascual, U.; Zafra-Calvo, N.; Bruley, E.; Fischborn, M.; Metz, R.; Lavorel, S. (One Earth, 2021-05-01)

Wildness and habitat quality drive spatial patterns of urban biodiversity

Aznarez, C.; Svenning, J.C.; Taveira, G.; Baró, F.; Pascual, U. (Landscape and Urban Planning, 2022)

Urban green and blue spaces (UGBS) are key for biodiversity conservation. Many studies focus on UGBS benefits for well-being, but how UGBS ecological and quality influence urban biodiversity is still poorly understood. We ...
