Understanding cross-habitat linkages between blue and green infrastructure to optimize management of biodiversity, ecosystem services and multiple human uses
Stream-riparian networks are key components of green and blue infrastructure (GBI) that underpin landscape integrity by transporting nutrients, regulating floods, buffering human impacts and supplying fresh water. Unfortunately, stream-riparian networks are also subject to multiple human pressures (e.g. from agriculture and hydropower) that affect longitudinal and lateral connectivity, driving habitat and diversity losses, threatening ecosystem services, and causing stakeholder conflicts.
There is thus a pressing need to understand the importance of connectivity within these networks, in particular its effects on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning and services, and to apply this understanding in managing streamriparian GBI for both natural values and societal needs.
