“…Research focused on the ecology of reservoirs (seven papers) was almost exclusively limited to Brazil and Singapore. Notably, several papers included wetlands as part of multiple habitats in studies of urban blue‐green spaces (Gandhi et al, 2015; Hayes et al, 2020; Mukhopadhyay & Mazumdar, 2019; Vallejo Jr et al, 2009; Zinia & McShane, 2021). Habitats categorised as freshwater wetlands were mostly natural wetlands, whereas lakes and ponds tended to include constructed waterbodies.…”

1. Urban expansion is a major threat to diversity, especially in rapidly developing tropical countries where urban areas are growing at great pace and protection is limited.2. We conducted a systematic review of published research on the ecology of lentic habitats in tropical urban areas. The review focused on understanding: (1) how much is currently known about the biodiversity of these habitats; (2) whether this knowledge is biased towards certain taxonomic groups and/or geographic areas;(3) what is known about the factors influencing their diversity; and (4) which ecosystem services urban lentic habitats provide. The review aimed to establish whether existing knowledge is sufficient to help guide conservation and provide evidence to policy makers of the importance of conserving tropical urban wetlands.3. We found 64 papers that addressed questions about the diversity and/or distribution of lentic ecosystems within tropical urban areas. Papers came from 15 countries, although almost half (45%) were from India; relatively few countries from Southeast Asia, tropical Africa, or South America were represented in the literature.

“…The impact of anthropogenic activity on the changing pattern of ecosystem services of urban cities of Myanmar has been studied by Wang et al (2018). Recently Zinia and McShane (2021) assessed and mapped the ecosystem services of Dhaka city of Bangladesh where they considered that climate and anthropogenic activities play the most dominant role for changing the ESVs. The expansion of urban area causes to degradation of natural ecosystem and changes of ecosystem services.…”

The structural strength and functional diversity of ecosystems were maintained by natural process, where the living organisms interact with their physical environment and exchange materials between them. Land use and land cover change exert signi cant impact on ecosystem services and their values, especially in the urban agglomerations. Kolkata urban agglomeration of India has been selected to determine the causes in changes of ecosystem services under present and projected land use land cover scenario. Land use land cover maps of 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2020 were prepared by support vector machine method, using LANDSAT satellite imageries and projected maps were produced with the help of CA-Markov model. Built-up land was increased by 65.39% during 1990-2020 and it will be increased by 76.88% during the period 1990-2040. Built-up lands are mainly encroaching crop lands and wetlands. The ecosystem service value will be decreased from $38486.49 during 1990 to $28060.79 during 2040. The rate of change of ecosystem service value was -27.09% during the same period. In Kolkata urban agglomeration, area under very low ecosystem service value will be increased from 16.60 to 58.88% during 1990-2040; whereas, the area coverage of very high ecosystem service value will be decreased from 2.69 to 2.35% during the same period. Water supply contributed highest ecosystem service value followed by disturbance regulation and nutrient cycling; whereas, lacking in soil formation, pollination and biological control services contributed lowest. The study will contribute for decision making process in sustainable management of natural resources and also provide some useful guidelines for the improvement of ecological quality in the study landscape.

“…In particular, they include ecosystems of entrepreneurship, knowledge, business, innovation, digital platforms, etc. [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. An ecosystem is focused on the interaction of actors, system infrastructure, and its underlying processes.…”

Cross-Sectoral Digital Platform as a Tool for Innovation Ecosystem Development

At present, issues of ecosystem self-organization and the mechanisms for their sustainable development have been insufficiently explored in academic literature. The key idea of our research is that for enterprises interacting in different industries based on a network partnership, a special tool is needed to ensure the openness of interaction between participants in the transfer of knowledge, technology, information, and resources. The authors argue that the development and practical implementation of a cross-sectoral digital ecosystem platform will allow for the synchronizing of the scientific and technological progress of several industries, making the most effective use of the synergistic effect from the interaction of ecosystem actors and ensuring the transparency and openness of the ongoing processes therein. The authors demonstrate their propositions with the example of unmanned aircraft system (UAS) industry. The proposed model and mechanism of cross-sectoral interaction can be replicated in different technological niches, such as robotics, neurotechnology, quantum technologies, etc. The conclusions arising from the conducted research provide scientists, government bodies, and decision-makers with the necessary information for a better understanding of practical mechanisms and tools that allow for the implementation of self-organization and sustainable development in modern innovation ecosystems.
