Natural Flood Management in agriculturally managed landscapes: re-thinking measures to deliver wider ecosystem services

Dr Mark Wilkinson, James Hutton Institute

This webinar will look at the opportunities and challenges of nature-based management strategies in agriculturally managed landscapes. More specifically, Mark 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).
