Part of webinar series: NERC Evaluating NFM Programme - to allow NFM researchers and practitioners to share knowledge and experience.
This webinar will look at the opportunities and challenges of nature-based management strategies in agriculturally managed landscapes. Dr Mark Wilkinson from the James Hutton Institute will explore how common management approaches (e.g. riparian buffer strips, edge of field margins) could be best designed in order to also attenuate flood runoff. Using Scottish, English and international case studies, Mark will demonstrate the importance of place and scale in optimising multifunctional measures in order to enhance flood protection but also deliver wider ecosystem services (e.g., water quality and drought protection).
