Sustainable drainage system site assessment method using urban ecosystem services (2016)
Journal Article
Mak, C., Scholz, M., & James, P. (2016). Sustainable drainage system site assessment method using urban ecosystem services. Urban Ecosystems, 20(2), 293-307. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11252-016-0593-6

The United Kingdom's recently updated approach to sustainable drainage enhanced biodiversity and amenity objectives by incorporating the ecosystem approach and the
ecosystem services concept. However, cost-effective and reliable methods to appraise... Read More about Sustainable drainage system site assessment method using urban ecosystem services.

Evaluating the relative influence on population health of domestic gardens and green space along a rural-urban gradient (2016)
Journal Article
Dennis, M., & James, P. (2017). Evaluating the relative influence on population health of domestic gardens and green space along a rural-urban gradient. Landscape and Urban Planning, 157, 343-351. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.landurbplan.2016.08.009

Studies have repeatedly affirmed the positive links between human and environmental health but few have sufficiently addressed the complexity brought about by the range of urbanity, population and both green space and domestic gardens cover associate...

Considerations in the valuation of urban green space : accounting for user participation (2016)
Journal Article
Dennis, M., & James, P. (2016). Considerations in the valuation of urban green space : accounting for user participation. Ecosystem Services, 21(Part A), 120-129. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoser.2016.08.003

Within the ecosys­tem ser­vices frame­work, val­u­a­tions of nat­ural cap­i­tal have pri­mar­ily taken a land­scape-scale ap­proach. The gen­er­a­tion of trans­fer­able mon­e­tary val­ues for in­di­vid­ual ecosys­tems has like­wise de­pended on as­se...

The acoustic communities : definition, description and ecological role (2016)
Journal Article
role. BioSystems, 147, 11-20. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biosystems.2016.05.011

An acoustic community is defined as an aggregation of species
that produces sound by using internal or extra-body sound-producing
tools. Such communities occur in aquatic (freshwater and marine) and
terrestrial environments. An acoustic community... Read More about The acoustic communities : definition, description and ecological role.

Appraisal of social-ecological innovation as an adaptive response by stakeholders to local conditions : mapping stakeholder involvement in horticulture orientated green space management (2016)
Journal Article
management. Urban Forestry and Urban Greening, 18, 86-94. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ufug.2016.05.010

Urban areas are hubs of creativity and innovation providing fertile ground for novel responses to
modern environmental challenges. Previous studies have attempted to conceptualise the ecological,
social and political potential of social-ecological... Read More about Appraisal of social-ecological innovation as an adaptive response by stakeholders to local conditions : mapping stakeholder involvement in horticulture orientated green space management.

Social-ecological innovation : adaptive responses to urban environmental conditions (2016)
Journal Article
Dennis, M., Armitage, R., & James, P. (2016). Social-ecological innovation : adaptive responses to urban environmental conditions. Urban Ecosystems, 19(3), 1063-1082. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11252-016-0551-3

Novel approaches to natural resource management, particularly those which promote stakeholder participation, have been put forward as fundamental ingredients for establishing resilient, polycentric forms of environmental governance. This is nowhere m... Read More about Social-ecological innovation : adaptive responses to urban environmental conditions.

Site-specific factors in the production of local urban ecosystem services : a case study of community-managed green space (2016)
Journal Article
Dennis, M., & James, P. (2016). Site-specific factors in the production of local urban ecosystem services : a case study of community-managed green space. Ecosystem Services, 17, 208-216. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoser.2016.01.003

Pockets of green space in cities can provide important ecosystem services for urban residents. As naturalistic spaces in urban areas become increasingly sparse, communities are beginning to co-manage existing incidental pockets of land towards the cr...
