In this paper, we reflect on the implications for science, policy and practice of recently introduced concept Nature-Based Solutions (NBS), with a focus European context. First, analyse NBS in relation to similar concepts, its relationship sustainability as an overarching framework. From this, derive set questions be addressed propose general framework how these might projects by funders, researchers, policy-makers practitioners. We conclude that: To realise their full potential, must...
Abstract We assessed the potential impacts of land‐use changes resulting from a change in current biofuel policy on biodiversity Europe. evaluated possible impact both arable and woody crops distribution 313 species pertaining to different taxonomic groups. Using species‐specific information habitat suitability as well land use simulations for three options, we downscaled available data original resolution 50 1 km. The maps were then applied analyse size composition at spatial levels. Our...
To counteract the negative effects of intensive agriculture there is increasing interest in approaches that reconcile agricultural production with conservation and sustainable use biodiversity associated ecosystem services. Integration functional agrobiodiversity (FAB) systems holds promise to meet these challenging objectives, but requires generation, transfer implementation tailor-made knowledge, policy development. Currently various initiatives are undertaken across Europe develop assess...
