Nature-based solutions (NBS) enable the ecosystem service benefits associated with natural landscapes to be embedded into the built environment, simultaneously providing environmental, social, and economic benefits. This represents a mechanism for re... Read More about Stewardship innovation: The forgotten component in maximising the value of urban nature-based solutions.

Soil is a key component of the water and nutrient cycles and a major contributor to global carbon sequestration. It can remediate pollution and provides habitat for almost all terrestrial plants, as well as a large proportion of terrestrial fauna. Ye...
