Nature-based solutions in mountain catchments reduce impact of anthropogenic climate change on drought streamflow

P. B. Holden, A. J. Rebelo, et al.

This research highlights the impactful role of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in combating the effects of climate change on drought streamflow. Conducted by a team of experts, including Petra B. Holden and Alanna J. Rebelo, the study reveals that clearing invasive alien trees mitigated streamflow reductions during the severe 2015-2017 Cape Town drought. Discover how these findings can inform future climate adaptation strategies.
