The concept of green infrastructure (GI) seeks to identify and prioritize areas high ecological value for wildlife people, improve the integration natural values in landscape planning decisions. In 2018, canton Geneva, Switzerland, established a roadmap biodiversity conservation, which includes operationalization GI covering 30% territory by 2030. this paper, we demonstrate mapping framework Geneva. Our approach is based on combined assessment three ‘pillars’, namely species’ distribution,...
Abstract Nature forms interdependent networks in a landscape, which is key to the survival of species and maintenance genetic diversity. provides crucial socio-economic benefits people, but they are typically undervalued political decisions. This has led concept Green Infrastructure (GI), defines an interlinked network (semi-)natural areas with high ecological values for wildlife be conserved managed priority preserve biodiversity ecosystem services. relatively new been used different...
Six new carnivorous plant cultivars are named and described: Sarracenia 'Mikasa Ackerman', 'Xǐ', 'Adye', Dionaea 'EEC Chalupacabra', muscipula Lava Guava', Pinguicula 'Mary Davis Treat'.
ABSTRACT Aim Future species distributions were modelled to assess the distributional changes of 1692 plant according several scenarios. Species vulnerability was calculated their red list and native statuses using a new index better understand most vulnerable groups future conditions improve conservation actions. Location Greater Geneva region between France Switzerland. Time Period From present 2050. Major Taxa Studied A total plants from all major groups. Methods Two different distribution...
Species Distribution Models (SDM) represent a powerful tool to predict species' habitat suitability on landscape and fill the gap between truncated observation data all possible locations. SDMs have been widely used in theoretical studies of species niches as well conservation applications. Here, we evaluated impacts predictors' type models' performances spatial predictions using 72 plant belonging six ecological groups at regional scale area Geneva (Switzerland). Twelve models were created...
Facing the decline of biodiversity worldwide, conservation remaining natural and semi-natural areas is fundamental. To do so, concept green infrastructure has gained attention recently. This case study presents method developed to identify in a cross-border, urbanized territory between Switzerland France area influence city Geneva. The first part methodology consists calculating mapping inputs aggregated four pillars: (i) distribution habitats as well predicted hundreds plant animal species,...
The cultivars Sarracenia 'Amphibien', 'Cooke's Bayou Red', 'Dantadelle', 'Elvis Presley', 'Metallized', and 'Rubis Rare' are described.
