“…After the reformation in the 16th century, the forest became owned by the municipality and the first European forest agency was created in 1524. The forest was initially an important source of wood for the city, but since the late 19th century became managed for recreation, conservation, and also flood prevention (Haase & Gläser, 2009). Today's carbon storage within the city is a legacy of these historic developments.…”

“…In Europe, almost all riparian or floodplain forests are broadleaf forests with originally unique but heavily modified, except a few situations, tree stands and forest habitats. Natural floodplain tree stands with large, green leaves which help to cool the surroundings more efficiently than typical park trees (Table 7.1; Haase and Gläser 2009;Elmqvist et al 2015). Data from Manchester (UK) show, for example, that a 10% increase in tree canopy cover may result in a 3-4 °C decrease in ambient temperature (Gill et al 2007) and save large amounts of energy used in air conditioning (Nicolson-Lord 2003;Akbari 2002).…”

“…To test the HLU methodology, working floodplains and as such floodplain-based NBS, including the revitalization of floodplains, was selected. For the purpose of identifying the initial floodplain HLU, and the active and potential floodplain HLUs, a conceptual model was created through the use of criteria and specific threshold values using GIS (geographical information systems) software [14,31]. See Table 1 input data for data description.…”

“…There is currently a lack of information, and, consequently, it remains difficult to estimate the extent of where NBS are already used or implemented and where their implementation is required. A localization of NBS that takes advantage of functional unit delineation, as utilized in the fields of landscape planning and hydrological modeling, remains to be tested for NBS to create spatial units that may be planned [14][15][16]. In many cases, these NBS are composed of biophysical functions that behave according to certain natural laws, such as sediment deposition of river meanders or topographical low points of floodplains.…”
