This brief presents how the results from theEC21C, FarmLand, ECODEAL, APPEAL, SmallFOREST and CONNECT projects. It provides evidence that increasing landscape diversity through green infrastructure (GI) can improve the supply of ecosystem services, looking at biocontrol and pollination.
This brief is based on the SPONFOREST BiodivERsA 2015-2016 research project presents information on how natural forest expansion can offer a cost-effective nature-based solution and climate mitigation measure.
This brief summarises the research showing that effectiveness of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) depend on their management objectives, their level of protection, and the proximity to other areas with various human pressures.
This brief presents information on how soil biodiversity supports a wide range of ecosystem services, and influences crop properties beyond productivity, but that its benefits are often not well-known or underestimated.
This brief demonstrates that co-management options and strong governance such as granting exclusive rights for fishing benefit both the performance of the small-scale fisheries themselves, but also contribute to their social and environmental sustainability.
