Journal Article
Gledhill, D., James, P., & Davies, D. (2008). Pond density as a determinant of aquatic species richness in an urban landscape. Landscape Ecology, 23(10), 1219-1230. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10980-008-9292-x

Green spaces within urban areas provide services and benefits to human populations and habitat for a variety of species. Freshwater, in the form of rivers, canals, lakes, reservoirs and ponds, is an important component of urban greenspaces. This pape...

Planning for biodiversity conservation in large urban areas: the Ecological Framework for Greater Manchester (2008)
Journal Article
Kazmierczak, A., & James, P. (2008). Planning for biodiversity conservation in large urban areas: the Ecological Framework for Greater Manchester

Recent emphasis on the need for biodiversity protection outside designated areas has resulted in the growing popularity of ecological networks as a planning tool. However, in urban areas high levels of habitat fragmentation and ever present developme...

Rethinking urban blue spaces from a landscape perspective: species, scale and the human element (2008)
Journal Article
species, scale and the human element

The term “green space” is commonly applied to all open natural and semi-natural areas in built areas. This term can be misleading as a proportion of urban “green” spaces are, in fact, “blue”; that is to say that they contain surface water. As well...
