Global environmental and health issues such as climate change the COVID-19 pandemic have highlighted weaknesses of current urban systems, including poor availability accessibility green public spaces in cities. Nature-based Solutions are configured promising solutions to increase resilience built environment by addressing issues, promoting psycho-physical well-being users proposing for protection ecosystems. Following a systematic review scientific literature using PRISMA methodology, this study aims provide taxonomic framework that is applicable building scales, highlighting key benefits challenges achieving resilience. This proposes holistic multifunctional approach will prove be useful tool researchers policy makers incorporate greening strategies into regeneration redevelopment processes. The application still seems limited. It therefore necessary raise awareness issue among citizens promote close co-operation between different actors territorial decision-making

Quantitative Assessment of the Water Stress in the Tigris–Euphrates River Basin Driven by Anthropogenic Impacts

Remote Sensing, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(4), P. 662 - 662

Published: Feb. 15, 2025

Water stress has induced many environmental and developmental conflicts in the arid basins Middle East region under context of climate change increasing anthropogenic influence. Quantifying influence on water at basin scale is very challenging because insufficient anthropogenic-related spatial data. Given that a global impact hard to mitigate scale, quantifying practical inform strategies for alleviating regional stress. Thus, this study attempts quantify contribution potential factors driving Tigris–Euphrates river (TERB) using pure The level studied was evaluated via index (WSI), which can be obtained as ratio demand availability, from Aqueduct 4.0 dataset. contributions social development (population, POP; fine particulate matter, PM2.5), economic (gross domestic product, GDP; electricity consumption, EC), landscape modification (urban expansion index, UEI; cultivated land CEI) were quantitatively based statistical geographical detector model (GDM). Assessment showed nearly 66.13% TERB area severe stress, particularly Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Iran. q statistic GDM, adopted factors, revealed CEI (0.174), EC (0.145), GDP (0.123) dominant These individual influences further enhanced interaction between such UEI (0.566), PM2.5 (0.350), (0.346), (0.323), (0.312). findings research provide some beneficial references alleviate TERB’s its future sustainable development.

Soil–Plant Indicators for Assessing Nutrient Cycling and Ecosystem Functionality in Urban Forestry

Urban Science, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 9(3), P. 82 - 82

Published: March 13, 2025

Nature-based solutions (NbS) are multidimensional, resource-efficient, and sustainable growth approaches to cope with current challenges, including biodiversity carbon loss, pollution, climate change land degradation. Amongst NbS, urban forestry is an important tool enhance environmental resilience sustainability, providing useful ecosystem services for human well-being. In this context, using suitable soil plant indicators allows us evaluate the efficiency of in sustaining functionality. Effective should be sensitive changes representative ecological processes. Many studies focus on selection or indicators. The prior investigations considered soil–plant interaction related complex heterarchical bidirectional effects involving strategy biota. choice use system could innovative better assess following: (1) ability support healthy plants their improve air quality; (2) effect processes, particular nutrient cycles. This review investigates suitability cycles, e.g., stoichiometry, enzyme activity nitrogen stable isotopes, as valuable tools planning evaluating effectiveness interventions.

Mapping urban heat: Unveiling nature-based solutions in Sari City, Iran.

Urban Climate, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 55, P. 102000 - 102000

Published: May 1, 2024

Amidst growing concerns surrounding escalating temperatures and the rapid expansion of urban areas, researchers are delving into intricate interplay between morphology, intensifying Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect, efficacy Nature-based Solutions (NbS). Despite sustained research efforts, a critical knowledge gap persists in precise modeling predicting UHI mitigation through NbS interventions. This is primarily attributed to nuanced spatial variations at neighborhood level, where these interventions commonly implemented. study addressed challenge by employing comprehensive grid structure consisting 699 cells, covering entirety Sari City, Iran, as scale. The investigation identified five hot zones within area. To scrutinize relationships effect various influencing factors diverse models such Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Random Forest Regression (RFR), Geographically Weighted (GWR), Mixed (MGWR) were applied. Remarkably, fit for simulated data experienced significant enhancement with implementation MGWR models. Five scenarios created using model outputs. analysis revealed responses across different segments. Notably, green roofs emerged most effective mid-term scenario mitigating effect.
