About Us
The University of Lincoln was awarded £24,997 from the UPP Foundation funding in order to develop a web app, using AI technology and online apps to understand and enhance ecosystem services and habitat connectivity across Lincolnshire.
This project aims to strengthen the delivery of the University of Lincoln’s (UoL) mission as a sustainable Civic University (University of Lincoln, 2022) by supporting the surrounding community to better understand the key Ecosystem Services provided by nature locally, and how to take action to enhance these.
To achieve this, we will engage with local communities and, using a citizen science approach, map three key Ecosystem Services using an AI-enabled mobile application that measures the following:
- Biodiversity and habitat connectivity
- Above-ground vegetation carbon storage
- Water infiltration for flood regulation
