“…For example, one of the EE activities used for NBS is removing invasive species to maintain ecosystem services, such as carbon sequestration, and reduce transpiration as a way of water conservation, while enhancing biodiversity. This was demonstrated by [11,12], who found that removal of juniper trees (invasive species) resulted in significant hydrological improvements and potential water savings while maintaining the potential for ecosystem carbon sequestration.…”

Reconciling erosion control and flood prevention with restoration of diversity is an important challenge for our societies today. However, examples of applications remain rare because practitioners and engineers are searching for more integrated solutions for this kind of situation. New considerations should, therefore, refocus attention on developing innovative actions by raising the question of how best to accommodate the two components. Moreover, little attention has been paid to erosion processes and their control for decreasing floods, although this can largely contribute to this purpose. Merging security with ecology, turning to co-benefits nature-based solutions at the catchment scale, based on the use of local ecological engineering, especially soil and water bioengineering combined with civil engineering, can provide adapted practices for harmonizing flood prevention and erosion control with restoration of biodiversity at the water catchment scale. This kind of approach should be accompanied by proposals for coherent and adapted governance for application of co-benefits nature-based solutions at the catchment and territory scales.

“…Several studies have investigated the morphology and stand characteristics of J. drupacea [4,5,7,12], as well as its biology and ecology [39], and many have examined the water use in various Juniperus species [40][41][42][43][44][45][46]. However, none have specifically investigated the water use of J. drupacea and its ecophysiological responses to different climatic conditions.…”

In the face of ongoing climatic changes, understanding the species’ sap flow responses is of crucial importance for adaptation and resilience of ecosystems. This study investigated diurnal variability and radial sap flux density (Js) in a natural Juniperus drupacea forest on Mt Parnon and determined the climatic factors affecting its total sap flow (Qs). Between July 2021 and March 2022, Granier-type sensors and automatic weather stations monitored Js of J. drupacea trees and environmental factors. Utilizing a multi-point sensor for Js radial profile variability, correction factors were applied to calculate (Qs), ranging from 4.78 to 16.18 L day−1. In drier months of the study period (July–September), Qs progressively increased with increasing PAR and soil temperature, reaching a plateau at maximum values (app. 600 µmol m−2 s−1 and 26 °C respectively) indicating partial stomatal closure. Whereas, during the wetter period (October–March), when water was no longer a limiting factor, VPD and PAR emerged as significant controllers of stand transpiration. In this period, Qs responded positively to increasing soil water content (θ) only on days with high VPD (>0.5 kPa). The studied J. drupacea stand demonstrated adaptability to varying environmental conditions, crucial for the species’ survival, considering anticipated climate change scenarios.

“…into sagebrush steppe ( Miller and Rose 1999 ). Juniper encroachment results in further degradation by outcompeting sagebrushsteppe shrubs and herbaceous plants via competition for limited resources ( Miller et al 20 0 0 ;Roundy et al 2014 ;Mata-González et al 2021 ). Unsurprisingly, this has had a negative effect on wildlife populations ( Bombaci and Pejchar 2016 ) and has resulted in many sagebrush-dependent species (e.g., sage-grouse) being classified into high conservation concern ( Dobkin and Sauder 2004 ;Baruch-Mordo et al 2013 ).…”
