This brief is based on the combined results of the FARMLAND, APPEAL, CONNECT, EC21C and ECODEAL projects. It presents key recommendations on how the CAP can significantly contribute to more diversified agricultural landscapes in support of biodiversity and ecosystem services.
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 presents how the results from the TipTree, TIPPINGPOND and EC21C projects allow characterization of tipping points for two types of European ecosystems, forests and ponds.
This brief presents how the CONNECT, REGARDS, TALE and VITALprojects use optimization tools and participative approaches to quantify synergies and trade-offs between ecosystem services and identify policy options for their sustainable management.
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.
