#Greenspaces and #canals are very common in #Berlin, as seen in these #photos: the #treelined #SchlesischeStraße and the #Flutgraben #canal with the famous techno venue "#ClubderVisionäre." Green spaces and #waterways can be havens of #urban #biodiversity. However, canals can also release #greenhousegases, but they can simultaneously act as #carbonsinks.

"The authors report that the occurrence of extensive deforestation in tandem with climate change will cause the remaining rainforest to lose resilience at global-warming levels of or slightly higher than 1.5 °C — rather than 4 °C — above pre-industrial levels".

"Cascading transition risks towards degraded ecosystems in the #Amazon biome[:] The large majority of the simulated transitions is caused by spatial knock-on effects from increasing drought intensities, leading to long-ranging and self-propelling cascades on scales of hundreds to thousands of kilometres."

new #CarbonSinks #CarbonCapture(1/2)
It seems that, as with the introduction of new animals (#neobiota, e.g. rabbits to #Australia) the introduction of new plants( #neophytes*) can be a huge source of disruption regional #ecosystems as well.
After reading through the aforementioned article about #grasslands, I now begin to understand the complexities involved.
I have a hunch that, from a systems point of...
