The naturalisation project of the Los Herrán urban green corridor involves the elimination of a considerable asphalted and paved surface to create a linear green space of high biodiversity, which favours the processes of ecological connectivity.
To this end, a careful selection of species is carried out with adaptation and resilience criteria and planting techniques that guarantee their optimal development so that their ecosystem services are increased. It is completed with a shrub layer and flowering meadows that increase the biodiversity of the complex. All this is supported by the implementation of fauna microhabitats as “butterfly oases” and refuge elements, and the creation of flood zones that serve as aquatic ecosystems.
- Naturalization of the Los Herrán urban green corridor to optimize ecosystem services and its role as an ecological connector in urban green infrastructure.
