Green infrastructure is a strategically planned network that broadens traditional biodiversity conservation methods to also encompass the concept of ecosystem services (ES). This study aims identify green in Central Europe. An analysis ecological connectivity based on ES supply quantified for CORINE land cover classes. Corridors between core areas, which are represented by Natura 2000 sites, ca...

Vegetation plays a key role in not only improving urban environments, but also conserving ecosystems. The spatial distribution of vegetation can be expected to make green corridors for landscape management, wind paths against heat island phenomena, etc. It is required to investigate the spatial distribution of vegetation on a regional scale because there should be green corridors and wind paths...

Many cities are located on estuaries, floodplains or other biologically productive and unique habitats. Natural ecosystems are fragmented in urban areas and are increasingly isolated as cities densify to accommodate population growth. Greenways are one approach to maintain natural connections, thereby preserving larger breeding populations of plants and animals and more robust food webs. The Gr...

Permanent grasslands provide a healthy and undisturbed environment. We investigated how mulching altered the soil physicochemical parameters, earthworm abundance, biomass, species composition vegetation cover compared to grassland cultivated alfalfa field. Microplots (2 × 2 m) were mulched with either weed control fabric (WF) alone or WF combined straw (WF + S) on grow tomato in ?sagárd (Nógrád...

Even with global support for tiger (Panthera tigris) conservation their survival is threatened by poaching, habitat loss and isolation. Currently about 3,000 wild tigers persist in small fragmented populations within seven percent of their historic range. Identifying and securing habitat linkages that connect source populations for maintaining landscape-level gene flow is an important long-term...

Urban nature increases the liveability of cities and can improve their resilience to climate change. However, value urban often remains unknown, which results in its omission from planning decisions. Particularly valuation small-sized understudied. This study therefore employs a stated preference methodology estimate economic seven types small four associated ecosystem services. We perform two ...
