Green infrastructure (GI), a network of nature, semi-natural areas and green space, delivers essential ecosystem services which underpin human well-being quality life. Maintaining through the development GI is therefore increasingly recognized by policies as strategy to cope with potentially changing conditions in future. This paper assessed how current trends land-use change have an impact on aggregated provision eight at regional scale European Union, measured Total Ecosystem Services...
Aquatic ecosystems are under severe pressure. Human activities introduce an array of pressures that impact and their components. In this study we focus on the aquatic domains fresh, coastal marine waters, including rivers, lakes riparian habitats to transitional, as well shelf oceanic habitats. environmental risk assessment approach, identified chains link 45 human through 31 82 ecosystem linkage framework >22,000 activity-pressure-ecosystem component interactions were found across seven...
The capacity of ecosystems to supply ecosystem services is decreasing. Sustaining this requires an understanding the links between impacts pressures introduced by human activities and how can lead changes in services. Here, we apply a novel approach, assessing 'risk service supply' (RESS), across range aquatic seven case studies. We link aggregate impact risk from on components, with relative score their potential greatest RESS found where component high subject risk. In context, explore...
In the last decade or so several studies have looked into impacts of transport infrastructure improvements on decreasing territorial disparities. those population levels are usually assumed static, although future likely change in response to changing accessibility as well other factors. To test how much may be affected by changes levels, this study explores effects foreseeable offered large scale investments. we compare measures from four cases, namely current situation; one case which only...
Target 2 of the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020 aims at deployment Green Infrastructure (GI) and restoration least 15% degraded ecosystems. We assess different alternatives for spatial planning GI ecosystem across European Union by using conservation prioritization tools. compared three scenarios identification priority areas in which service potential, beneficiaries (i.e. people) condition play roles. As an example restoration, we also assessed cost-effectiveness removal invasive alien...
Global initiatives have been increasingly focusing on mainstreaming the values of biodiversity and ecosystem services into decision-making at all levels. Due to accelerated rate which is declining its consequences for functioning ecosystems subsequently, they provide, there need develop comprehensive assessments benefits nature delivers society. Based expert evaluation, we identified relevant flow linkages in supply-side socio-ecological system, i.e. from supply eight case studies across...
Green and Blue Infrastructure (GBI) is a network designed planned to deliver wide range of ecosystem services protect biodiversity. Existing GBI designs lacked systematic method allocate restoration zones. This study proposes novel approach for systematically selecting cost-effective areas on the basis biodiversity, services, condition give an optimal spatial design GBI. The was tested at regional scale, in transboundary setting encompassing Intercontinental Biosphere Reserve Mediterranean...
Abstract Future trajectories of agricultural productivity need to incorporate environmental targets, including the reduction pesticides use. Landscape features supporting natural pest control (LF-NPC) offer a nature-based solution that can serve as partial substitute for synthetic pesticides, thereby future levels. Here, we introduce novel approach quantify contribution LF-NPC yields and its associated economic value crop production in broad-scale context. Using European Union case study,...
Due to its geographical location and poor economic conditions, Africa  is the continent most exposed adverse consequences of climate change, particularly on agriculture. The very low percentage land equipped for irrigation, 3.5% in Sub-Saharan Africa, is another element concern, sensibly reducing ability mitigate likely productivity losses caused by increasing variability extreme events. Fostering irrigation therefore a priority, but due limited amount resources, both physical (e.g....
Land taken by artificial surfaces has an impact on the quality of life and ecosystems. To reduce possible negative impacts land take, European Commission proposed setting a milestone objective for 2020 in terms future rates take.This paper describes methodology to model land-take RERM Union 27 MS. An integrated modelling framework was configured assess spatial two scenarios: 'Reference' scenario, which is driven demographic economic trends, 'Target 0' scenario that follows RERM. We conclude...
