Ecosystem services provided by lowlands as affected by water management in the Guinean and Sudano-Guinean zones of Benin, West Africa
Inland valleys are critical wetlands providing a wide range of ecosystem services. However, inadequate water management has limited their agricultural potential in sub-Saharan Africa. This study used a mixed-method approach, drawing on data from 298 farmers across 41 inland valleys, to assess how water management techniques affect ecosystem services provided by inland valleys and to their sustainability. Three key management approaches were ident…
Nature-based Solutions for landslide risk reduction in informal settlements of Salvador da Bahia, Brazil
Nature-based Solutions (NbS) for climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk reduction (DRR) aim to take advantage of the benefits that nature can provide to cope with potential adverse impacts. This study identifies and evaluates NbS for landslide risk reduction in the informal settlements of Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, comparing them with conventional engineering measures. The research is based on a qualitative, participatory methodology, …
Drought and flood hazards in inland valleys of Benin
Inland valleys (IVs) are vital socio-ecological systems in Sub-Saharan Africa and are crucial for agriculture and ecosystem services. However, they are susceptible to drought and flooding and require adaptation strategies informed by robust spatiotemporal analyses of hazards. This study (i) assesses the spatial and temporal distribution and severity of drought and wet conditions; (ii) identify key climatic and biophysical factors associated with …
Assessment of social vulnerability to forest fire and hazardous facilities in Germany
In recent years, Germany has seen an increase in forest fires, and many fires have occurred in military training areas that are difficult to access for firefighting. While casualties are still low and mostly restricted to firefighting personnel, settlements are also increasingly threatened. Increasing impacts from extreme events due to climate change will likely increase the ignition and spread of fires. More people are being affected by fires, a…
Change of Risk Perception and Risk Communication in County Cork, Ireland after Former Hurricane Ophelia (2017)
Communication towards the public about the risk of natural hazards (NHs) is important to enable community resilience and encourage autonomy in handling NHs impacts. The need for communication becomes even more crucial as NHs become more prominent due to climate change. This also includes hurricanes. Due to warmer sea surface temperatures and decreased vertical wind shear, hurricanes can undergo extratropical transition and reach northern latitude…
Pau-brasil and string instrument bows telecouple nature, art, and heritage
The wood of the pau-brasil tree (Paubrasilia echinata Lam., formerly Caesalpinia echinata Lam.) is used worldwide as raw material for the construction of high-quality bows for string instruments. Alternative tree species are rarely accepted by professional musicians, or by bow and violin makers. Historical overexploitation of this endemic species in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest biome (Mata Atlântica), a global biodiversity hotpot including UNESC…
