Researchers in the iEco Lab had a new paper published in Current Opinion in Sustainability. In the paper, which was led by iEco principal investigator Dr. Jocelyn Behm, we reviewed the
literature on sustainable urban vegetated green infrastructure and connected it with functional trait approaches used to enhance ecosystem services. We hope that this work will help managers and planners to create urban green infrastructure, like the park from Vancouver Canada pictured, that produces the maximum benefit to human well-being in a sustainable way. You can find the paper HERE. (citation below)
