Linking sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS) and ecosystem services: New connections in urban ecology (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Mak, C., James, P., & Scholz, M. (2012, December). Linking sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS) and ecosystem services: New connections in urban ecology. Presented at British Ecological Society Annual Meeting (18-20 December 2012), University of Birmingham

The relationship between Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) and ecosystem services has not been articulated clearly, leading to misinformed and inadequate SuDS designs. A new conceptual model, informed by literature review, sets out the relationshi...

Cultural values of semi-natural greenspace. A case study of conservation grazing (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Smith, D., Oldfield, P., & James, P. (2012, June). Cultural values of semi-natural greenspace. A case study of conservation grazing. Poster presented at College of Science and Technology Research Showcase, University of Salford

Social-ecological systems in modern environmental management bridge the traditional division between ecological and social sciences. These systems comprise frameworks encompassing both human and biophysical components, and in which ecosystem services... Read More about Cultural values of semi-natural greenspace.

Resilient ecosystem service assessments for sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Mak, C., James, P., & Scholz, M. (2012, June). Resilient ecosystem service assessments for sustainable drainage systems (SuDS). Poster presented at College of Science and Technology Research Showcase Day, University of Salford, Greater Manchester, UK

Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) have been shown to be the preferred solution in dealing with excess urban flooding compared with traditional drainage methods (Woods-Ballard et al, 2007). Aside from flood prevention and water purification, SuDS a... Read More about Resilient ecosystem service assessments for sustainable drainage systems (SuDS).

Resilient ecosystem service assessments for sustainable drainage systems (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Mak, C., James, P., & Scholz, M. (2012, June). Resilient ecosystem service assessments for sustainable drainage systems. Presented at College Research Showcase Day, Media City, University of Salford

Increased flooding caused by climate change and impervious surfaces associated with urban areas has highlighted the need to develop better drainage strategies. Excessive runoff from traditional urban drainage systems involving sewers and manholes lea... Read More about Resilient ecosystem service assessments for sustainable drainage systems.
