Nature-based solutions in the urban context: terminology, classification and scoring for urban challenges and ecosystem services.

TL;DR: The main conceptual advancement resides in providing a list of 32 NBS and putting forward two novel NBS categories: NBS units that are stand-alone green technologies or green urban spaces, which can be combined with other solutions (nature-based or not); NBS interventions that refer to the act of intervening in existing ecosystems and in NBSu, by applying techniques to support natural processes.

Impacts of land use/land cover changes on ecosystem services in ecologically fragile regions.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors identified key LULC change (LULCC) impacts on urban ecosystem services (ESs) in Ordos, an ecologically fragile region in Northwest China.
Journal ArticleDOI

How ecosystems services drive urban growth: Integrating nature-based solutions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined interactions between human and natural systems that result in ecosystem services and changes in land use and land cover in urban areas, and developed a social-ecological model to address urban challenges with nature-based approaches.

Land availability in Europe for a radical shift toward bio-based construction

TL;DR: In this article, a prediction-based model, tuned-up on four systems (built environment, natural environment, carbon balance, industrial processing), converts construction activities until 2050 into required material, embodied land and carbon storage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Principles for urban nature-based solutions

TL;DR: In this article , the authors build upon and integrate knowledge from the most recent academic work on NBS in urban areas and introduce five distinct, integrated principles for urban NBS design, planning and implementation.

Understanding relationships among multiple ecosystem services.

TL;DR: A typology of relationships between ecosystem services based on the role of drivers and the interactions between services is proposed to help drive ecological science towards a better understanding of the relationships among multiple ecosystem services.

Soil Erosion and Conservation

TL;DR: In this article, a review of worldwide land degradation problems is presented, focusing on delineating and estimating the magnitude of soil erosion, quantifying erosion and sedimentation impacts on land productivity, establishing quantitative values for erosion-causing parameters, and implementing global and regional soil and water conservation programs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel ecosystems: implications for conservation and restoration

TL;DR: It is suggested that these novel systems will require significant revision of conservation and restoration norms and practices away from the traditional place-based focus on existing or historical assemblages.
