The strategy of reconnecting rivers with their floodplains currently gains popularity because it not only harnesses natural capacities of floodplains but also increases social co-benefits and biodiversity. In this paper, we present an example of a successfully implemented nature-based solution (NBS) in the Dijle valley in the centre of Belgium. The research objective is to retrospectively assess cost and benefit differences between a technical solution (storm basins) and an alternative NBS, here the restoration of the alluvial floodplain. The method is a comparative social cost–benefit analysis. The case study analysis reveals similar flood security, lower costs, more ecosystem services benefits and higher biodiversity values associated with the NBS option in comparison to the technical alternative. However, the business case for working with NBS depends substantially on the spatial and socio-ecological context. Chances for successful NBS implementation increase in conditions of sufficient space to retain flood water, when flood water is of sufficient quality, and when economic activity and housing in the floodplain is limited.Supplementary InformationThe online version of this article contains supplementary material available at (10.1007/s13280-021-01548-4). 相似文献

In the present study, the existing life stage-specific cDNA library was extended with energy- and molting-related genes using Suppression Subtractive Hybridization PCR and a microarray for the aquatic test organism Daphnia magna was created. A gene set of 2455 fragments was produced belonging to different pathways such as carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, O2 transport and heme metabolism, immune response, embryo development, cuticula metabolism and visual perception pathways. Using this custom microarray, gene expression profiles were generated from neonates exposed to three concentrations of the anti-ecdysteroidal fungicide fenarimol (0.5, 0.75, 1 microg/ml) during 48 h and 96 h. In total, 59 non-redundant genes were differentially expressed, of which more genes were down- than up-regulated. The gene expression data indicated a main effect on molting specific pathways. At the highest concentration, a set of proteolytic enzymes - including different serine proteases and carboxypeptidases - were induced whereas different cuticula proteins were down-regulated (48 h). Moreover, effects on embryo development were demonstrated at the gene expression as well as at the organismal level. The embryo development related gene vitellogenin was differentially expressed after 96 h of exposure together with a significant increase in embryo abnormalities in the offspring. This study suggests that this Daphnia magna microarray is of great further value for the elucidation of molecular mechanisms of toxicity and for the future development of specific biomarkers for hazard characterization. 相似文献
