ANALYSIS OF FIELD SEAGRASS PERCENT COVER AND ABOVEGROUND CARBON STOCK DATA FOR NON-DESTRUCTIVE ABOVEGROUND SEAGRASS CARBON STOCK MAPPING USING WORLDVIEW-2 IMAGE

The Cologne District in Germany faces frequent flooding from the Rhine and its tributaries. This study maps existing and planned nature-based solutions (NbS) to reduce flood risks. While many NbS exist along the Rhine, more efforts are needed for smaller rivers. The study recommends targeting slopes and urban areas to better manage increased flood risks linked to extreme weather and climate change.
