The PONDERFUL project has generated new knowledge on ponds and pondscapes, as well as tools and resources for practitioners and policy makers to harness the power of these habitats as nature-based solutions.
The project ends on 30th November, but these resources remain available on the PONDERFUL Information System, providing an important legacy for PONDERFUL.
The Information System hosts data generated by PONDERFUL via a centralised database on aquatic ecosystems, mostly at European level. This is an open access repository for long-term archiving and preservation which meets EU data management standard. The primary focus is on data used in PONDERFUL DEMO-sites and case studies, and resulting maps, model outputs and tools.
A repository of data and other outputs from the PONDERFUL and AQUACROSS projects, the Information System is a resource for anyone seeking to implement nature-based solutions using aquatic ecosystems to deliver ecosystem services, biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation and adaptation.
As much of the work is ongoing, new resources will gradually be uploaded after the project.
Key outputs of PONDERFUL, including the technical handbook and policy guidance document, are available in several languages on Zenodo.
The two project videos, also translated into several languages, can be streamed on the PONDERFUL YouTube channel.
