The three-year project between Brock University and the Town of Lincoln is aimed at helping the community understand how to deal with the impacts of climate and environmental changes and examining potential avenues of solutions for future development along the shore. It follows on the heals of the Brock-Lincoln Living Lab partnership announced in October 2017. You can access the project blog here.

The focus proposal of this project is to use cover crops, rootstocks, and novel irrigation strategies to enhance vineyard resilience in the face of climate change and increase its economic and environmental sustainability. You can learn more about this project here and can access the project blog here.

The objective of the project is to further develop the concept of rethinking humans and their relations with nature with the aim of embracing a worldview that genuinely reflects our relationship with nature to bring a more sustainable social-ecological system.

The research team will use a landscape approach to examine how the increased use of native plant species in vineyards and perimeters can contribute to the enhancement of ecosystem services. They will do so by monitoring soil health, water infiltration, climate regulation, and weed and pest pressure to assess the impact of enhanced biodiversity on productivity and resilience.

Biodiversity or biological diversity is the variety of organisms in a given location. We often think of biodiversity when we visit natural parks, protected areas or conservation areas. However, it is possible to enhance biodiversity even at home. This series of blogs aims to encourage reflection, bring forward ideas and explain why we can all be part of this movement to bring back biodiversity in our cities. Urban biodiversity is important for many reasons and it certainly helps to bring colour and live to our lives. You can learn more about this project here and access the project blog here.
