Journal Article
Multiple water recharge modalities in Hungary beyond managed aquifer recharge
Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) has gained growing attention as a tool for climate adaptation. The field lacks systematic empirical analysis of how different actor knowledge types shape interpretations of MAR and aquifer recharge modalities more broadly. A recharge modality is a particular…

Mangrove-integrated coastal infrastructure: Linking design considerations to ecosystem services
Coastal communities face increasing threats from sea-level rise, storm surges, and erosion, and extreme weather events. Concurrently, coastal urbanisation and development is constraining conventional mangrove conservation and restoration. These constraints are particularly evident in highly…

Evaluating the efficiency of permeable pavement: Grass-filled pavers in the Netherlands
Permeable pavements are implemented at more than thousand locations enabling rainfall infiltration and evapotranspiration of stormwater in The Netherlands. However, the efficiency has not been extensively tested. Therefore, research is conducted using a full-scale infiltration test (FSIT) method to…

Can the ‘One Health’ approach be integrated into blue carbon projects? A perspective from the Philippines
Blue carbon ecosystems such as mangrove forests, seagrass meadows, and tidal marshes are widely recognized for their role in climate change mitigation. Although these ecosystems also provide co-benefits that support human and animal health, these values are often overlooked in blue carbon projects…

Constructed wetlands and the rehabilitation of ecosystem services in freshwater ecosystems: A systematic review of influencing factors
Freshwater ecosystems have lost up to 75% of their area due to anthropogenic degradation. In this context, constructed wetlands (CWs) are emerging as technologies for the rehabilitation of multiple ecosystem services. Through a systematic review of 84 studies (2005–2023) following the ROSES…

Agroforestry systems: A nature-based solution and ecosystem approach empowering rural communities to tackle climate change
Agroforestry systems have been promoted as a powerful tool to empower rural communities, especially women, to address climate change, biodiversity loss, food insecurity, land (soil) and ecosystem degradation in the coastal plains surrounding Pointe-Noire, the second largest city and economic hub of…

Co-producing nature-based solution scenarios to improve water, flood and heat resilience in Ghana's informal settlements
Informal settlements in rapidly urbanising African cities continue to face serious social-ecological challenges that affect residents’ well-being and place pressure on local resource systems. Although nature-based solutions (NBS) are increasingly recognised as promising approaches for improving…

Plasma treatment of agricultural wastewater using gliding arc discharge (GAD): Production, characterisation, and application of plasma-activated water (PAW) and evaluation of its effects on plant growth media and crop productivity
To decontaminate agricultural waste water and generate reactive species which boost the growth media for degrading pollutant, Plasma treatment is a sustainable technique (1) that linked to Nature-Based Solutions (NbS). By reducing chemical use, PAW improves crop yield and seed germination which we…

Justice in urban nature-based solutions: A systematic review of distributive, recognition, and procedural dimensions
Nature-based Solutions (NbS) have become central to urban climate adaptation agendas, yet their capacity to advance environmental justice remains underexplored. While justice has emerged as a key concern in NbS debates, no systematic synthesis has examined how its three dimensions, distributive…
