Climate Change Impacts on the Future of Forests in Great Britain Open
Forests provide important ecosystem services but are being affected by climate change, not only changes in temperature and precipitation but potentially also directly through the plant-physiological effects of increases in atmospheric CO 2…

Understanding the value and limits of nature-based solutions to climate change and other global challenges Open
There is growing awareness that ‘nature-based solutions' (NbS) can help to protect us from climate change impacts while slowing further warming, supporting biodiversity and securing ecosystem services. However, the potential of NbS to prov…

Why Nature-Based Solutions to Climate Change Must Be Grounded in Sound Biodiversity Science Open
The current focus on afforestation in climate policy runs the risk of compromising both longterm carbon storage and human adaptation. It also works against efforts to stem the tide of biodiversity loss. We outline why an emphasis on divers…

Multi-functional production systems: from research to practice Open
Multifunctionality is the inherent characteristic of ecosystems to simultaneously perform multiple functions that provide ecosystem services (ES) and might be able to provide a particular ES bundle or bundles. ES within these bundles can i…

Integrating methods for ecosystem service assessment: Experiences from real world situations Open
The Ecosystem Services (ES) concept highlights the varied contributions the environment provides to humans and there are a wide range of methods/tools available to assess ES. However, in real-world decision contexts a single tool is rarely…

New EU-scale environmental scenarios until 2050 – Scenario process and initial scenario applications Open
Understanding uncertainties and risks can be considered to be the main motivation behind environmental scenario studies to assess potential economic, environmental, social or technical developments and their expected consequences for socie…

An Economic Assessment of Local Farm Multi-Purpose Surface Water Retention Systems under Future Climate Uncertainty Open
Regions dependent on agricultural production are concerned about the uncertainty associated with climate change. Extreme drought and flooding events are predicted to occur with greater frequency, requiring mitigation strategies to reduce t…

Adoption of the ecosystem services concept in EU policies Open
The concept of ecosystem services has gained a strong political profile during the last 15 years. However, there is no specific EU policy devoted to governing ecosystem services. This article shows that the ecosystem services concept is al…

An impact evaluation framework to support planning and evaluation of nature-based solutions projects Open
This document reflects the results of a quick scoping review of the peer-reviewed and grey literature and is not intended to be comprehensive. It explores the multiple dimensions of impact that naturebased solutions projects may have when …
